Thought the cutting out problem had been solved witty a new relay, now it will start for a second (whilst the relay is buzzing) then cut out a second later, tried a new relay fuse board as it looked a bit worse for wear, but no avail, any ideas? Going to try an ignition switch and if that doesn't work I'll get a mobile mechanic to vagcom it
