Still not starting!!!

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah I have a decent jack, useable axle stands and a small selection of tools

And great, I will pm you my number

Ok, see you tomorrow, make sure its up on stands nice and high when I get there so that I can get to the starter motor.

It sounds like you have at least 2 problems though, as the starter not turning and the car not starting when on a push start are essentially two different things, although its possible they may turn out to have a common cause, although I cant think what yet TBH!
MicKPM, I would turn your phone off if I were you, as otherwise I will probably be ringing you while I am there, lol.

 

[MicKPM]

No bother I'm only doing VAT returns and an R26 A/C issue tomorrow so you'll be saving me!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ha ha, cool!


Always good to have a "phone a friend option"

Thank you both

I really appreciate the help and advice, Chip it will be on stands as high as I dare take it lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

Lol, it doesnt need to be 6 foot in the air or anything, just enough room for my belly under it, ha ha.

 

[MartinR]

Hope this gets sorted mate. Look forward to seeing what the problem is.

Lol I know mate I will try and get it up high to make it easier though lol

Thanks mate

I'm the same, I am going to feel sooo f**king stupid if it is something really simple lol

I hope it is something really easy to fix though as I don't want to have to replace 10000000million things to find out what it is

Why do I think it's something to do with the clutch assembly locking everything up?

Checked this mate^

Read first post, clutch works as normal and flywheel, cam, gears all move freely as they should

That's why I want to know if it locked the wheels when attempted to be push started.




Who did the clutch change Spinksy ?

Me mate,

Checked that it is lined up, the clutch plate is definitely the right way round, the pressure plate is on tight, flywheel moved freely with the box off, put box back on and starter back on and it still moves

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ok.

 

[MartinR]

Done?

 

[MicKPM]

Done?

I know, talk about milking it

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Chips has to strip and rebuild those start motor rings he fried !
Lol

whats the hold up?

 

[welshname]

Chip is probably trying to convince him that his Baldrick bullets aren't cool.

For those of you too young to get that reference

Spoiler

 

[Chip-mk1]

Done?

Didn't get there till 7 or so as had to make a new exhaust for my van today. I'm good but I can't work backwards in time.

We changed starter. Still problem. tried a little subloom i made and it turned then, found wiring problem. Sorted that. Turns over now.

Left spinksy to finish putting it back together and cleared off to harvester.

 

[MartinR]

[Chip-mk1]
