Hi - thanks for the reply, it won’t even crank over at all. Most likely a starter motor I’m thinking? Have tried taking the relay out and the starter doesn’t turn at all

Hi all - Turning the car onto ignition - glow plug light turns on and then 6913 PRC clicks like a a machine gun. Have replaced the battery and has made no difference. Any ideas on how to get it started? Thanks all!

Yes its got spacers but they have been on there long before i had the car. The wheels won't fit on the axles without them.

Hi all, I'm currently chasing down what I think is a fuelling issue. About 3 weeks ago, going up hill, the engine pulled power (like if you had hit a puddle), power came back straight away, this happened multiple times. However, a couple of days later, going up a small hill (just after starting...
