Is it likely that I still have dodgy connections? The "new" starter turned fine just after fitting and then 15 mins later was turning lazier and stopped while cranking. I am going to give everything another clean up asap and try using leads direct from battery with shorting to solenoid to...

The SRS light is often caused by the rotary coupler behind steering wheel.

More help needed on this please. I took starter off and bench tested it - it made a clunk and then nothing. Fortunately I had another starter available which I tested and worked fine. Put this on, turned key, it spun up fine. As I had been moving coolant pipes in engine bay I stopped...

Finally getting round to trying to solve my starter motor problem on my 3.9V8. The Haynes book of fairy tales says "use an appropriate allen key" to remove bottom bolt. Anyone know what size is "appropriate" the biggest I have is too small. What size is the top bolt and what's the best way to...

Sounds like the coil to me. Can you borrow a known good one?

That's the other problem, nobody around to help and only one pair of hands. Thanks for the help guys, looks like I'll celebrate the Jubbly with a starter motor.

I did try a lead from positive to solenoid, forgot to mention that. Also hit it with a mallet for good measure!

I turn the key to start engine and nothing happens at all. No click or clunk, nothing. I have done the following Checked battery, no problem there, fairly new and fully charged. Put headlamps on and turned key, no dimming of lights. Cleaned earth lead. Put jump lead from starter to negative...

Have a look at Tinley Tech

Wot he said. The lights are notoriously unreliable, even to the extent mine are on one green light when full and then the others come on as it empties.:rolleyes:

Run engine to operating temperature. Put heater control to HOT. Turn on heater fan in cabin. If hot air is coming out of vents you have flow through your heater matrix. Turning the heater to hot does nothing to the matrix, it merely allows hot air to circulate into the cabin. The matrix...
