at the last southend meet in the pub carpark (14th sept) you had a look at my wobbly wheel, but i cantrememberwhatyou saidthe problem was ?
was it the wheel bearings??
spent a coupla hour this morning playing around trying to get it to turn over.
went to a breakears picked up a brand new startermoterfor 25 quid + i got some money of cos i know the guy who owns it.
new starter moternow it works, just sounds a bit wierd
i conected the lead to the bat- and the other end to just behind the gearbox.
it made the same click and then a different noise which i can only discribe as robotic, like when a cd is loading????????
ive takin the plugs out and there was moister that smelt like petrol on them it was clear moister. that did not work
i checked bat and hit the starter. still no go
i am gonna try the dizzy cap when it stops raining.
what else??
could this be the head gasket?
thats what i considering.
i think the starter motor has gone because it wont even turn over.
whats the cheapist i can pic up a 5 or 1.4rt engine up.
if i can get one cheap enough i wil put it in next week.
i just flushed the cooling system and realised i ran outof anti freeze so i went to the shop and left my bonnet open, when i was at the shop it rained.
the engine is soaked and when i tried to start it it spluttered exhaust popped and died then triend again loud bang from the under the air...
