Oh, so you know my Mrs! (joke) Thanks for that. We have two keys, so will try the other one. I went out & bought a new battery yesterday as I found the old one completely discharged, & so far no problems have occurred (however,in the past it has gone a number of days between problems). When having starting problems the red LED in the drivers door is blinking constantly. Initially it started & died very occasionally, then would start on second attempt having died about once or twice a week It then took about 10 attempts to start it ran for a split second before dying but would eventually start and run perfectly. Each time it tried to start it turned over briskly. In the last week it has turned over sluggishly without firing & after a few attempts has died with nothing happening when turning the key. A jump start has worked instantly with the GLXY ticking over & running sweetly. Hope the new battery will help the problem. I keep seeing references to relay 30/27. I'm not sure if this would cause the problems I have been experiencing. The 2.8 V6 has been great fun, but if I can't put this starting problem to bed, I may have to think about offloading it which would be a shame. Thanks again for your advice

There might be a clue there. Have you thoroughly checked battery connections or tried a new battery. I know nothing of this model but if it is OK with jump leads then it has to be related with the battery or connections. I believe that if the battery teminal voltage falls below a certain level the system resets as soon as it returns to normal which could cause it to cut out even though it has started OK. Thank you for that. Just the way I was thinking! Having spent close to

Hi I am a new member & need assistance in finding a garage or mechanic in the Blackpool area who KNOWS the Galaxy 2.8 V6 Mk11. I would also be very pleased to receive any advice as to what this problem is caused by & remedies I have a starting problem which is intermittent. Some times the car runs perfectly; sometimes it needs 1 or 2 attempts to start it because the engine fires but then immediately dies. Worst of all I can attempt to start 9 or 10 times without success & then no starter, nothing at all. However when this happens a jump start always works, the car starts instantly, ticks over & drives perfectly......until the next time! I do notice the red led in drivers door blinking when I am having the problem I have spent approaching
