The car's never been flashed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4321 Bronze Donating Members 257 Member For: 10y 8m 14d Posted 01/11/19 06:00 PM Share Posted 01/11/19 06:00 PM Put a volt meter on the battery as some one else try's to start it, should be around 10v if it's under this replace battery, if it stays around 12-13v change starter. because you get a 'clack' from the starter the ignition switch, inhibitor, ecu & relay are working. You earthed the jump pack to the block so I assume that the earth is OK . Starters are cheap but they're not easy to change. I recon the FG ones turn the engine over faster & will fit after you cut the extra tag off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back at the farm now packing my bags for 10 days in the Hawaiian Islands, so will get back into the detective work when I return in a few weeks...
