Cannot help with your starting problem, but I think that loose wire (orange?) is the aerial for the central locking/ key fob.
Hopefully more experienced help will be along soon. |

It's quite possibly the ignition switch on the end of the barrel. I swapped mine recently due to exactly the same symptoms and there have been a few other people with similar issues.

Thank you guys for the replies! Landroveranorak , the connections at the back of the switch looks fine thou!?? If the barrel was faulty would the battery light stay on??

It depends on the nature of the failure, I guess. I think the battery light would stay on as it only goes off when current is drawn by the starter motor, which isn't happening if the switch isn't working. Darren

If nothing except the battery light is on (and your coolant gauge at max hot), then your ECU is off, or the CAN bus is broken.
The above is the default the cluster shows when it has no CAN messages arriving. ![]() ![]() |

Loose wire is alarm aerial - nothing to be concerned about.
