i've started getting electronic ignition fault on my display screen on my d9.engine will not start and have to diconnect battery and try again.has any one else had a similar fault on a d9 and any suggestions on repair.cheers Darren

i had a similar problem on a car at work, it logged an intermittent tdc sensor fault, and wouldnt start untill you fiddled with the battery, the car had done 270,000 miles as well although this doesnt apply to you
what it turned out to be in the end was:
the starter motor was drawing so much current due to its age and the positive starter cable being so old, that the starter was drawing the pulse signal from the tdc sensor though the wiring loom, so i re-routed the starter live cable, which of course went straight to the battery, and hey presto it started, though i didnt leave it at that, just to be sure i put a tdc sensor, starter motor and starter cable to be sure, so i would get the fault codes read first, if you have a tdc sensor fault then try unbolting the starter motor cable and re-route it more arround the front of the engine bay

my 406 has 167,000 on the clock did yours show the same message on the display,thanks for your reply and i will get mine checked out.cheers darren
