The battery feed from the battery to the alternator splits in two somewhere in the loom to power the starter. If this is faulty then it will cause the drain even when the alternator is off the car... this is why I suggested taking the starter live off to rule it out.

It will 100% be this. When you changed it, did you fit the new blue crank sensor and install the new loom section? If not, 100% your issue. Mick

Take it to a garage that knows what they're doing. If there's play in a road wheel then the road holding isn't going to be great. If a damper cannot hold the tyre to the road then this will reduce grip and again, road holding will be compromised.

Yeah as its cheap but it looks like it will need some wiring and a PAYG Simm to work. The Garmin doesn't need this and you know the tracking info and website features will be ace to. I especially love how you can set the Garmin to alert you when main power is cut or when it physically moves out...

Its very strange that two alternators would both cause the same drain. I'd say its more likely to be, if it's 100% that circuit, more likely to be the starter motor/starter solenoid at fault. You could try disconnecting this from the starter to see if the drain vanishes. Also, making the...

No issues from this end, not gonna start bitching as its sometimes the way things go but if i'd have known she was going about the garages I probably wouldn't have made such an effort looking in to it let alone divulge any information... you win some and others you lose.

Because I don't know what has happened to your old unit to make you need a replacement. I'd hate for you to kill another

I don't know Martin as she had it done elsewhere. I guess she assumed I was only going to replace the camshafts so went everywhere to get it done without telling me then just emailed me at 3.45 the day before saying it was fixed and wasn't coming in now. I guess it's my own fault for saying...

Then firstly never listen to their advice again. Secondly, bring it to me in Nottingham and i'll re-configure it for you for £20 You can fit it yourself if you like but DO NOT CONNECT IT UP UNTIL it has been reconfigured Mick

We'll cross that bridge once you've finished your homework assignment... now go check!

This EVERY 6 months irregardless of actual mileage covered. It may sound overkill but it will save you buying new discs and pads every 12-18months as they're not cheap! The rest is pretty basic stuff such as oil changes and these can be left to the OCS times/intervals.

Does it still do it with the charge circuitry "exciter" wire disconnected?

One question - You didn't see Airwolf whilst here ...right ;) Cracking photos chap, that must be some serious glass you have! Mick

Been out in it since 7am hooning like a 17yr old. Decided to not SORN it at the end of rhe month :D

Yep

Get one from an identical spec car

Then there's your problem which is why you would be better off just taking it to someone local in the know.

No injectors... you need to confirm the 12v ref voltage is present and if so why the triggers aren't firing. The fact you have spark rules out a crank position sensor fault. I'm betting you have injector triggers but no ref voltage. Mick

I f**king love the OP as I've been looking for a real world 3D printer that is interested in doing low volume/private individual one off's So many little interior parts (window switches, clockset surrounds, "in vent" gauge holders can all be made from this stuff as its super strong considering...

Got the tax reminder thru... considering SORN :confused:
