Basically my starters fooked, it's lazy and drains the battery big style (swarf from a previously failed dmf.)

There's a bit of power left but not enough to turn over.

Is it worth trying to bump start it or not?

GVK.

You can try, but probably NOT enough power for ECU to operate properly.

Give it a tow if you've got a bar or brave on a rope!

Carlos-Titx

Bollocks!

Didn't think of a tow.

I'll give it a push down the close and hope for the best
Try and get it running to get mrs to work.

GVK.

How will she start it to get home?

I have got visions of the Lee Evans sketch trying to bump start the car with his Mrs!

I would pick her up, if it started again.
It will fire up but now and then it will drain the battery after one go.
Rac bloke said its arcing as the casing may be cracked on the starter.

I can't push the fucking thing fast enough and she's letting the clutch go after rolling a metre. Waste of time.

Got a new starter just waiting to get it fitted on Friday.

Carlos-Titx

Answer is yes!

Tow started it but took a few hundred metres as the battery was so flat the ignition wasnt turning on. And sounded rough as fook to start with.

MikeyRobbo off here came round, tow started it for me and took it to work to fit the new starter and dropped it off early afternoon.

Huge thanks pal, really appreciate it!

The good of Passion Ford strikes again
