Ford Transit intermittent no start

[@kevinpalmer7452]

Great fix Peter. KZbin has helped me out many times it’s a fantastic resource thanks to people like yourself and I feel guilty sometimes because I don’t contribute.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

The amount of hard repairs that I have fixed with a KZbin search is unbelievable. Even just for a run through on what is involved in a awkward job, it’s great. Thanks Kevin 🙏🙏

@@kennedysgarage3281 only last week needed to replace a steering angle sensor on a MK5 golf quick look on KZbin some nice guy from Poland had taken the trouble and ok yes I could have worked it out myself skipped through the video and memorised had it done in 20 minutes probably an hour otherwise and a broken clip or two! After that a door card on a Jag👍

[@justinward5865]

Nice work, ive had this where it starts and cuts straight out, no codes everything is fine when it starts, but a real pain!!! Its great you have many different vehicles in keep up the fantastic service

[@kennedysgarage3281]

It is very simple to change Justin & well worth doing if only to avoid it failing totally. Thanks mate 🙏🙏

Nice one Peter, nowt wrongvwith having a look on here to see if anyone else had had the same issues , great fix , well done 👍👍👍🎅🎅🎅

This van was in our garage for 4 days with a no start before I fixed it from KZbin 😂😂😂

[@JohnReesPhotography]

Had the AA out to my non-starting / no lights on the dashboard MK7 Transit yesterday. I told the AA mechanic that I’d had a problem with the ignition switch about 7 years ago on the vehicle (which had been sorted at the time). He spent an hour fiddling with the van, at one point he decided to slap the dashboard to see if the ignition light would come, he even took the ignition switch off and put it back on. He had the engine turning over because he ‘allegedly’ bypassed the ignition, but it still would not start. He eventually said the vehicle would need to go to a Ford garage to be sorted. He towed me home, no way was it going to a Ford garage yet! I then took the ignition switch off myself and popped it apart. The electrical contacts were obviously well worn inside but I gave them a quick clean and put it back together. Bingo! Dash lights on and the van started. This was no more than 20 minutes after the AA mechanic dropped the van off. I then picked up an aftermarket ignition from my local car spares shop, which they actually had on the shelf as the ignition switch is apparently a common fault. Be careful with advice from the AA mechanic!

[@kennedysgarage3281]

@@JohnReesPhotography well done on the repair mate. It sounds like the AA chap tried his best. Cars can do this to you sometimes, unfortunately we can’t be familiar with them all. But well done for sorting it yourself 😉💪💪💪

Ahhh the Transit van. Such a great vehicle when they are running. No 1 vehicle used for bank robbery get away in the world! True facts. They are magic to drive. But jeeze they are unpredictably unreliable buggers 😂

[@johnbickle4654]

Had problems today with a zafira b all sorts of strange codes for 4wd and autobox faults car was manual and they don't come with 4wd 🤨 , under bonnet fuse box was at fault fitted one from my local breakers and had a no start quick search on here and another you tube legend mechanic matt had a video on how to swap the immo unit over from the fuse box had i not seen that video i would have gone back to the breakers for ecu and keys etc and probably still a no start🤣 . Thanks for sharing 👍💯.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Isn’t it just brilliant when that happens. Pulling your hair out then you come across a good source of information, Like Matt & straight away you know this video is going to help me. Well done to you John & Matt for sharing the info too 👏👏👏💪💪

Another great fix mate 👍🏻 👌 you tube is our friend

All for 1 & 1 for all. Every thing is easier when we all work together. Cheers Peter 😉😉

[@mikeraphone6745]

I've just ordered that part as my van hasn't been running for a few weeks. The part hasn't arrived but this morning my Mrs was moaning at me about not going to work because of no van and it started. I let the van warm up and then went to work. Van wouldn't start so I had to pay someone £50 to put it on their lorry to drop it off home . I won't say but my Mrs is really pissed off with me over the van . She offered to buy me another second hand van but I'm not going to be accountable to her over one . I will put this thing on when it comes and let you know .

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Hopefully it will get the van sorted for you, it is easy enough to fit 🤞🤞🤞

The elastic bands in the transmission will go next.. :-) These also hate booster packs - usually you have to bang in a fresh battery. Nice fix Peter. :-)

The owner is trading it in against a new transit in January, once it stays going until then 😬😬😂😂

[@jamesward5721]

These do drive nice & are super economical when going - has to be said. Them elastic bands in the transmission take a little getting used to - but beyond that.. There's always that gnawing thought that the woodworm are chewing away underneath & most of the important stuff is made out of Playdough - but those aside,,,they drive nicely. Vague - but nice.

[@philipscott1128]

If you ever get a mk5/mk6 golf, key hard to turn or jammed in ignition, it's really common. Loads of videos on KZbin. You remove the whole steering lock , complete with barrel & switch. Dismantle the whole thing (seems daunting) & there'll be a tiny bit of broken metal in the steering lock. Once reassembled, key will turn perfect. No new parts needed, just follow the video!

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Wow, that sounds cool. Saves time & money. I’ll check it out & happy Christmas Philip 🎄🎄🎄
