went to start my rs cabriolet yesterday morning and it just wouldnt turn over , but once a bump start it it runs like a dream , now the indicators have stopped working this is a major headache for me

Whilst it is running check the charge rate, then look for bad connection to starter or broken wire between ignition switch and starter motor.

i will do mate is that a common fault ? mines running about 200 bhp at o.7 bar a boost as i been told but i am not very sure

RST are famous for cooking the starter due to it's very close position to the exhaust and this causes problems, that apart they're pretty good.

wheres the best place a could get a new starter motor or reconditoned 1 mate? any ideas

tabetha

Best way to find a good place is to look where all the commercial/truck firms use locally.
If you know any haulage firms in your area just pop in and have a ask, word of mouth is better than adverts imo.
I would also look on ebay, someone I know has recently been quoted Ł180 to overhaul a cossie 4wd starter motor!!, ebay one was Ł50 new not exchange either, plus you get a years warranty on the new one.
