[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 455721, member: 14679"] It sounds a lot like a naff ignition switch TBH. If you jack up the back of the bus, you can test the starter. place it in neutral and turn the ignition on, but not cranking. clamber underneath (axle stands!!!) and with a screwdriver, short out the connection on the starter between the big old stud with the main power feed on it, and the short push-on connector on the solenoid. starter should work. if it doesn't, then you've either got a problem with the main power feed to the starter, your earth strap (both of these can be checked visually) or your starter is knackered. if the starter works, then you've got a wiring issue or a naff switch, which would also explain the power delivery issue to the speedo (crazy oil/gen lights, might also experience iffy indicators) [/QUOTE]
