Good plan. See what the weather is doing tomorrow. I was hoping to stay clean tomorrow, going out with my sons for a birthday lunch!
I was hoping to be dirrrrty tomorrow, but probably like every other day I'll just get covered in engine oil and grinding dustI was hoping to stay clean tomorrow,
Thanks. The Black Box kindly offered me a starter, I've pm's him and am waiting for him to get back to me. They seem to cost a shedload new, especially after you're just bought a battery and an alternator!I'm not too far away from you and have an addiction to Fiats (currently have two Cinqs and two Puntos mk1&2) If you want to try a known fault free starter motor your welcome to.
From the sounds of it I would say it's starter related. Earth faults are common but you have already ruled those out.
I'll have another go at getting underneath it on Monday. Thanks.check the signal connection before changing the starter coz if it is bad, just fitting a starter might sort BUT will be short lived coz the blade of the connection will be fresh, until the female connection (lucar) goes again, which it will.
how do you work that out ? if the engine isnt cranking ?Yep its the starter pulling more current due to wear and starving the coil pack/tdc senser of correct operating volts so no spark hence jump start fine also happens more when starter is warm say after popping to shops jump back in and wont start.its always the part thats hardest most expensive to change every time cars you got to love them lol good luck.
said the doctor about the nurseI'll have another go at getting underneath it on Monday. Thanks.
