    when it cuts out
    • Throttle off
    • Reverser in neutral
    • Underneath reverser the furthest left switch to front flick to start if I recollect.
    • Hold green start button on dash for five seconds or so
    • Flick the switch to run under reverser
    • Back into forwards
    • By now you should hear it throttling up again.

    Hope that helps.

    I actually looked up the class 66 restart and found multiple posts, one of which I'm sure was from you and tried for a good half an hour in vain to get it to restart.

    I went to the other end and tried there, nope. I tried flicking all main circuit breakers off/on then following procedure, nope. I then watched several YouTube videos of cold starts but whatever I did it wouldn't reset. I did just give up in the end as the frustration was loading having to give up a half hour (minimum) journey 3 miles from the end

    Not sure what else to suggest in that case. I'm still chipping through the 66 services so I'll keep an eye on what I do if it happens again. Good luck

    ollyweston350 - Just had a quick muck about this morning for you and did the below. Not sure if it helps. Not advocating this is prototypical but it got it started.
