Turning key to start and nothing happens, thought it might not be in Park properly, no such luck. It doesn't even try to engage starter. Battery is showing 11.98V. Would that sort of fault show up on an OBD11 reader? Aussie Paul.

I hear so often that American imports are not suitable for Australian conditions. A joke a load of hype. The Euro imports however; from what I read; can cost you fortunes in replacement parts, and services, and stuck on the road waiting for import parts. Common sense that a 2.3 liter engine pushing 4....
