He says there is an intermittent starting fault
The biggest problem is when the car gets hot and then it won't start again.

Hi Kempy
He tried to start it up after work but there just didn't seem to be any spark there.

Had same problem
Yeah i had the same problem with my ED, It was the body control module which may have the smartlock incorporated. With mine if you held the key in the start position and give the dash at the bottom and to the left of the steering column a wack it would start. Thats were the module on mine was located. Good luck
