Brilliant info !! Thank you When we went to the bottle bank the other day (1km) I followed in the proper car, Fli left the banger running whilst we de-bottled, then we went to the garage to check in for CT (another 2km) and thats where he stayed stuck, coz I left him and went shopping hahahahaha. Fli? On your return?? You have mowing, cleaning, dechet run, painting, loo fixing, woodworming, general fixing and me to look after! ;D ;D ;D |

Fli, just to add to the list ....... dad says:
Hi Bab
! Does it start ok when cold (plenty of Wizz ) ??
2 If yes, try jump leads when it's hot, if it starts ok then, there might be a short in the wiring, is it a dyno start or starter motor?.
3 starter motor not disengaging
4 Engine could be overheating and partly seizing, check water pump or anyone fitted new piston rings?
check rad.
5 Starter motor loosing power when hot.
Bad earth would be same hot or cold/ coil etc would not affect starter power, unless it was shorting when switched on and draining the battery.
Moi, XXX
