just bought a pug 205 1.6 gti

it started fine, drove it about 100 miles, put some fuel in (petrol) and went to start and nothing happened.
its shorting somewhere.
any one know why?

G'Day,

How do you know it is shorting? Something could be open circuit.

Is everything dead (instrument panel) or is the engine not being rotated by the starter motor?

Do you have a multimeter, know how to use it and are prepared for a bit of diagostic work?

Good luck.
