I know there have been threads here before but I am having a nightmare setting up the gearbox isolator switch. All was fine until I had the gearbox rebuilt. I assume during this, the switch was removed and replaced in the usual set position. My first problem was that the car was fine when cold but when hot the isolator stayed isolated in P and N and the car would not turn over. After 10 minutes or so however, all was back to normal. I assume it had cooled down a little and gaps may have changed with the switch. So assuming that was the case, (and after replacing the switch to no avail) I reset the position of the switch in accordance with the manual. The outcome of that was that it will now start in N but not in P!
It seems that the switch makes a connection for the reversing lights when the plunger is not pressed in and as you press it in the reversing light connection is broken and after one turn the isolator connection is made. So, I am thinking that if I screw the switch in a little further then this might help? I am a little curious as to why it will start in N but not in P though.
If anyone can shed any light on the it would be greatly appreciated!!
