Ian C Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 By "hear a spark" do you mean you hear a clickclickclickclick noise but the engine doesn't turn over at all? If so that's your average Bat Flattery -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Well yeah makes that click click click noise and I get all the usual lights come on, on the dashboard but she just not turning over. So its a flat battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 I am going to do a search on what is the best battery to get for the supra, hopefully get one from halfords or something. or is that not a good idea? what about the connectors and terminals on the new battery etc will they fit the jap connectors? if you understand what I mean. will there be a probably fitting it.

SupraTT2004 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 I think I am going to get this battery Halfords HCB005. which alot of people say on here is good. but my question is. Will this just fit straight in on a Jap Spec Supra TT, without a problem? thanks people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 yeah i got the same one ( i think..... its the high capacity calcium one!!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I could also be the contacts on your starter motor solenoid. Tbh if this has happened overnight it's more likely than the battery going. Either way its almost definetly one of them, can't you temporarily hook another battery up first to check it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 I dont have another battery around. How ever, it is a Jap battery, which I no are rubbish. so its probably a good idea I get a decent battery anyways. and if it dont work after the new battery then, will have to get it looked at. thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I got the Halfords HCB one (that is mentioned in that FAQ I linked to ) and it's great. A good test, by the way, if you think your battery is flat enough to not start the car, is to try your wipers and leccy windows. They will be VERY lethargic -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Just had it looked at. The start motor is fecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Does anyone no if the Jap starter motor is the same as the uk spec ones? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Starter motor rarely fails from mine experiance , i think its you battery , just because you can put your window down , does not meen its flat, sounds like not enough charge to turn the starter motor . Else it a bitch to change ... i have a spare jap spec one for £70 from a 54000km car 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 it is the starter motor, have had it all checked. and yes it is going to be a bit*h to change for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 it is the starter motor, have had it all checked. and yes it is going to be a bit*h to change for someone. Not too bad if you use a ramp , the first starter ive heard failing , check the connectors (if youve got a ramp) !!!! Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 it is the starter motor, have had it all checked. and yes it is going to be a bit*h to change for someone. Check out Chris Wilson I think he does exchanges and keeps a stock. Have you actually tried another battery or a jump start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 yeah tried a different battery but still the same problem. might be what dude said and might be the connecters. have to take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
