broken 172!!!!!

[Christophe]

wouldnt start this morning and just got it towed to garage think its my starter motor. just turns over and doesnt click on. Also think my battery is a bit knackered. How much do you think it'll cost to get it done if 9it my starter motor.

How can the started motor be broke if it still turns over the engine?

 

[Christophe]

o right thats wot the guy said who recovered it. It could be my battery as when i try to start it with no leads it struggles to start up but when i jump start it it turns over just doesnt click.

No leeds?

mine never starts as my battery is fucked
if it just clicks then its the battery if it does nothing then it could be the starter motor
but if it turns over good and healthy but doesnt start then could be anything ie TDC sensor injector problems
who knows

might be worth trying the old strok switch ingition on to see if you display a t--- then clear it and see if it comes back again

Just get it jump started, bet you it fires up first time that way

The garage has told me its my battery! They thought it was starter motor but as they looked deeper into the problem figured it was battery. which has made me happier as battery only costs 59 quid where as starter motor....

However they noticed i have a crakced cv boot. so that needs replacing and then they have to do all the alignment again.

I'd check everything they say - they could be trying to anally violate your wallet.

they rang me back and said they found the cv boot isn't knackerd as it was only the clip that came undun so i've saved a few quid. and theyve lowered the price of the battery as im new customer. so all is good
