AU3 XR8 Ute Won't Start (Intermittently)

[LeadFoot81]

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my auto XR8 which occasionally refuses to start.

I turn the key to Accessories (all good) then turn to start and get nothing.

There's no specific circumstances which cause it (doesn't matter if it's hot or cold, just been driven or been sitting for a couple of weeks)

Every time this has happened I've kept tried a mixture of wriggling the steering wheel as well as moving the shifter from from P to N. Nothing obvious fixes it...I just keep turning the key off/on until it eventually starts.

The only out of the ordinary thing that has been happening recently; is that when I shift the box into a lower gear (3,2,1) it either won't do it, or after a while it'll decide to shift back to D irrespective of where the T-Bar is.

In terms of troubleshooting:

- I've checked that the relays are snug (switched them around and given them a light tap)
- Had a test light on the starter motor (when the key is turned, she lights up)

However - ironically, I haven't been able to reproduce the no-start scenario!

Any ideas on troubleshooting this greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
