    Default 1.8 SRi 57 plate ignition struggle

    Hey all, I'm new here and needing some ideas. When I try to start my Veccy, most times it is perfectly fine, but occasionally it will struggle, all lights go off the dash except battery light, it struggles, then starts, but all displays seem like they hav had a reset, although CD plays from same place it left, time is ok, etc, but temperature has disappeared and then comes back after a couple of seconds. On some occasions it displays turn lamp signal but the lights all work fine. I am confused by this issue and concerned as to what it may be. I have checked all fuses, and just had a service done anyways, new plugs, oil n filter, fuel filter and air filter. Had new coil pack last year August time.

    Please suggest ideas for me to investigate. Thanks in advance all who can help.

    firstly i would check and clean all battery connections inc earth to body and starter motor, next check the battery with a multimeter then with it still connected to battery take some readings when cranking over they should have a series of simular readings if you have a odd reading every now and then it could be down to a worn segment in the starter motor causing an excessive draw from the cranking amps of the battery;i have seen this on many fiats over the years causing simular dial problems..
