Just gone to turn the Pulshit over, and it wouldnt go... clicked and thats it.

Batterys been on charge all day, So I know its ok... All lights are fine


Just put some jump leads to it and it started first time no probs,Anyone reckon its a fuse for something, like the starter motor?

I love cars, there ace

 

prob starter motor mate

 

Starter motor is fairly new...

 

Have you got a flat battery?

 

check that the earth is secured properly failing that its probably the starter motor,i had a similar problem with the cossie last year

 

surely if the starter was fubar'd, it wouldnt work even with the jump leads?

 

Sounds to me like either a knackered battery, or it in actual fact wasnt charging like you thought it was!!!

 

If it starts off the jump leads but not directly off the battery, it can only be:

The battery is U.S or
The battery to lead connections are corroded, == remove leads and clean the battery posts and the lead terminals and refit tightly.

Youv'e proved everything else works, starter, engine to body earth, fuses etc.

.

 

you could of have a knackered batt, which has dropped a cell

 

I'd say the battery is fooooked

 

you'd be suprised! my cossie wouldn't start at all without jump leads took me ages to figure out it was the starter

 

as said, clean all the connections with a bit of sandpaper and make sure theyre tight. if that doesnt change out try another battery.

 

il go with battery not takeing a charge too! 50/50? phone a friend?!lol

 

The charger I used, was a friends.. so I dunno on what condition its in LOL

Just been and got the battery back in door and stuck it on MY charger that I found under the stairs a few hours back

 

i'd say the battery has a dead cell, there is enough in it to run lights etc, but when you try and start it, there just isnt enough 'wumph' in the battery to get her turning over.

 

radders my battery in the bmw just died one night

i towed xrt-si's car to paul hills with it ( there was the first mistake ), drove back at a reasonable pace ) he was holding on to the handle,,,, but he was still shaken from being towed in the outside lane on the A12 overtaking cars whilst on a tow bar in and out of traffic with a bloke who dont use indicators ( must be a BMW thing)

anyway after the spirited drive there and back we went to get fuel,,, car would not fucking start again,, wouldnt even lock the fucking doors ( had to use the key,,,, imagine having to do that )

the batt just died,,,, aparently that can happen

trip to halfords boyo or get me the bat code and ill see what i can do for ya

 

bar code even?

 

a 3 digit number that starts with a 0,,,,, eg 004 or 063 or 093 blah blah blah]

some jap cars have 004R or 004L if there reversed terminals and,,,, well not sure why cause some of the reversed terminals just have different numbers anyway

 

Can you get batteries cheap then ?

 

radders,,,,,, get me the part number and then you tell me

 

Ok mate

 

text me it tommorow and when i get a sec ill call you,, cant answer my phone at work for some reason ( ironic considering i have 2 phones on my desk and 6 sepeate lines )

 

Your number still end in ******771372 ?

 

Should of stuck with the Mini!

 

Have you switched the charger on

 

with a 0-60 speed of over 15 seconds.....



yeah ok

 

since i was a little boy,,,,,,, in my game i need to keep the same number

 

 

Better than what you have at the moment 0 - nowhere in forever.

 

Can will still run, with leads, and it has no water in, so it could still do a good 0-60, just the car wouldnt last long

 

LOL! That mini was going to last forever! Your not the same without it. In all seriousness what spec is this car? I left the forum for five minutes and you changed cars.

 

Forged pistons
Multi layer steel head gasket.
GAB adjustable suspension front and rear
Front mount intercooler
Apexi sus stainless steel filter
Mongose full exhaust with decat
Tarrox g88 front discs with EBC red stuff pads
Goodridge stainless steel brake lines all round
RPS streetmax clutch
Quickshift gear linkage
16" Speedline alloys


Its running at 14psi, so it should be good for at least 290bhp or hopefully 300bhp

Will be set up and RR'd soon

 

Battery is knackered, DON'T go anywhere near electrical items with SANDPAPER, the glass particles that rub off the paper can melt on the item being sanded when subjected to electricity, and insulate the terminals!!
My friend did it with his SKODA RAPIDE years ago despite my telling him not to use it on his points, broke down 15 miles from nowhere at 3am, towed car back I cleaned the points started frst time!
tabetha

 

like i said, its the battery, remember when you get a new one that the JAP terminal are smaller sizes.

 

sounds like this to me, overwise my would putting power supply through jump leads make a difference? id suggest testing your battery with meter

 

radders , ive got a spare skyline battery in the garage, i dunno whether there the same as the pulsar ones, but id imagine they might be similar,

let me no if your still stuck, its brand new to

 

 

The Halfords battery I have on my Pulsar is a HCB005, iirc it's meant for some 4x4 but is a perfect size for the tray and has the right terminals.

510 cold cranking amps.

 

Im a cunt, ignore this post


I didnt see one of the connections wasn't in properly


What a plank!




zippyobrien All sorted!! Thanks for the offer though
