No Power

[Patvr6 0]

Ok my luck with this car is starting to suck big time.

within 6 months, new Hoses, Strut Brace, Rims, some dodgy arch rolling done by professionals, and some of my dodgy spray work, and a crash repair, i find a black leather interior on the cheap for a cabrio.

I get in the car and go to start it and nothing, so i think its dead, i then get this missus cabrio to get a jump start and after 20 mins, still nothing, i then nick her battery, put my battery into her car which starts her car first time without any jump leads, but her battery is doing nothing in my car whatsoever.

When i turn the ignition key to on, all the icons go out, and the speedo reading and the time disappear, when i remove the key they come back on, and the clock resets itself. All other electrics are working, stereo, windows, roof etc, but i have also noticed i have no interior light when i open my doors, and no indicators showing on my dash, the indicators do work on the outside of the car but not on the dash. This must be electrical or something to do with my clifford alarm.

Any help yet again is well appreciated, thanks in advance.

BUMP lol

Right today i have checked all fuses, and done two different methods of starting the car by putting wires on the starter motor and nothing again, it has to be either

1). Immobiliser

2). Ignition Switch

3). maybe my loom has burnt out

Thanks guys will try out couple of these methods in the week as i am back to my 60 hour week in the morning.

I am very interested though in the expansion tank thing as i fixed a strut brace yesterday before this problem occured, i will look out for the earths.
