RubyXR6T Member 22 Member For: 18y 7m 18d Posted 03/04/07 11:59 AM Share Posted 03/04/07 11:59 AM Hey guys,having trouble with a certain part of my car, (dont want to go too far into it at the moment) and basically I should be able to roll start my car, but dont seem to have any luck in doing so. Even a local mechanic tried, and although he said he nearly got it going, he didnt. So, has anyone had to roll start a XR6T, and if so, had any troubles doing so??Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33848-roll-starting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 03/04/07 03:37 PM Share Posted 03/04/07 03:37 PM Yeah should be easy mate. I've done mine a couple of times on flat ground in second gear.

RubyXR6T Member 22 Member For: 18y 7m 18d Posted 04/04/07 12:02 AM Author Share Posted 04/04/07 12:02 AM It wasnt the battery, it was something else that I might post later. Until its all sorted out im keeping my mouth shut til we work out who stuffed up. It could end up being my fault.
