    Is my issue the ignition antenna ring? If so, one wanted.

    Had this issue with my C70 T5 for a couple of years now, but as I don't use her much I've never sorted it. Basically starts straightaway but sometimes stalls almost immediately and then will not fire for at least 2 attempts and possibly as many as 5-6. I did read somewhere about removing the key and turning it over which does seem to work when I have the issue.

    If it does sound like the ring thing, then anyone have one for sale please?

    Try taking the ring off first Mark and giving it a clean, always worked for me.

    If not then I have a couple, £5 posted if you want one.
