coastline taxis Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Check the earth lead to the engine and the battery terminals Quote
paul.h Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 You might also check the wires at the starter are connected up. When the clutch is replaced the starter motor is removed after disconnecting the battery and the engine earth lead is undone so the gearbox can be removed, so maybe one of the wires was not tightened up/connected properly on refitting. You could also take it back to the garage for fixing if nothing obvious is found that you could do. Quote
welshspringer Posted July 19, 2016 Author Posted July 19, 2016 Cheers for your help. found the fault, brushes on starter were U/S also the "ameter" (my words) needed a good cleaning, supposed should be expected after 100k. Now starting as NORMAL.What a job to remove the starter, these car designers must be masochistic by birth. Quote
paul.h Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 Did you replace the brushes or just get another starter motor, whichever, where from and how much for the parts ? Quote
Rankersbo Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Having similar issues. Got it bump started, but won't start with jump leads. Hope it's just a wiring fault. Edited March 15, 2017 by Rankersbo Quote
Rookie2 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 What are you getting when you try to jump start it ? Nothing at all/ a click click/ turns over slow etc etc ? Quote
