Default Cossie no go :-(

Have been working my bollocks off the last couple of nights on the drive, trying to get the car up and running, all to no avail

It's all together now, but i have either an alarm problem, or the starter's fucked, which i hope not 'cos it's just out of warranty

Was all good, bought a new battery today, and finished off the loom and plumbing, and jumped in to turn her over off the key, and nothing. By the time i had fucked about it was too late to fire up anyway, but i still ain't sure what the problem is. I've got a spare recon starter so i shall try that.

Am well annoyed tho'. The installation is mint, but something random has fucked me up, afuckingain!

Nutter,

try using a screw driver or something simular & bridge the gap between the Starter Solinoid feed terminal & the + terminal on the starter. If she turns over (watch for sparks ) then you got a feed/alarm or immobiliser fault, if she does nothin then it's gonna be the starter !

I know a bit cow boy, but it works to eliminate the starter.

Also check all earths are attached etc, if it wourked before & nothin has changed, it might be just something you missed accidently !

Good luck

jb
