Default Ahhhhhhhhh I Hate Winter



I must definatly have FORD running through my blood, I hate the cold and so do they

The big Question is should you never rely on an RST in the winter??

No Idea why it happens this, but since its got really cold out, my mate's RST (which is my lift to work) is so unreliable, the problem at the minute is it'll start first thing on a morning from cold no worries but if you turn it off within 5 minutes of initial start-up it will refuse to start again, just turning and turning over, propa confused by this now
and we were both late for work again this morning

No flocking good this, what could the problem be this time anyone ??

Thanx - Adi

Hello m8y

It's either the starter motor, or the fuel relay I reckon.


Either way,

Don't turn it off

Hi Dan how we going m8y ???

Definatly not the starter as it turns freely, could be something to do with fuel relay, but it wouldn't turn over at all if it was owt to do with fuel ???

When my fuel relay packed up, it would just turn but not fire at all Jump start would get it going

I've spent over half an hour sitting in a petrol station waiting for it to sort itself out before now

the cold start valve may be sticking open and flooding it when trying to start it when warm.
