fookin thing wont start ,thought someone on here may have an idea what it is before i start messing with it as its proberbly something simple,anyway the car has been stood for a couple of weeks and last week i came to atart it and the battery was dead,jump leads on and it started straight away no problems,left for a while ticking over then put it away,took the battery off and charged it up,put battery back on this morning and the bastard wont go,it will turn over and fire and thats it,after a bout 15 mins the battery was going flat so got the jump leads out and tryed for half hour,still wont go,turns over fine and fires,loads of fuel etc,any ideas

check you've put all the earths back on, very easy for the ones from the engine to be tucked away behind the battery when u drop it back in

could be a dodgy stater motor... check the connections to the Stater and always try hitting the thing as your trying to start the car... if it suddenly goes then thats it LOL

bit confusing your post

so at the minute, it fires, fuel spark etc, but it doesnt come to life???

sounds a bit unhealthy to me since it started straight away on jumpers, ticked over and if its trying to fire for all of 15 minutes something isn't right. A booster pack will probably get it going imo and then it needs good drive

yes i'd suggest you have missed one one the wires when reconnecting the battery.

Either that or it could be immobiliser related?

checked the plugs? I had this problem the other day.. The engine had flooded from trying over and over to get it going

take them out, and let them dry, if you have a small blow torch, heat up the ends then let cool down


worked for me
