chilli Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 have you done any basic diagnostics on it to see what it might be? If it's really dead someone from here must be local to you, or get it taken to a specialist garage, one from on here would be best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Does it just not fire up but turns over ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchell Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Well the battery is flat now but it did turn over beforehand and fuel was getting through...Beforehand the ECU sensor light came on and I ran it into Honda who borrowed a comp from Toyota! It was some sort of gearbox sensor problem but not critical...car was running ok until one morning when it wouldnt start...was turning over but not firing up....im not technical so help!!

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 does the starter motor click on/off rapidly Maybe solenoids. If so, starter motor can be reconditioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Try TDAXGAV he might be able to render some assistance or another mate of his thats a non supe mechanic but has a supe may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 My advice would be to speak to Graham S on the board, he is basingstoke based and knows his way round the cars, also he is a mechanic for a registered garage in basingstoke. Failing that I will have a look for you, but I'm no mechanic.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchell Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Thanks for the posts chaps....I have contacted a guy called Nik who had been recommended who lives in chineham/ basingstoke. He can apparently come over Tuesday and tow the car to his and have a look at it but if there is anyone else that can possibly look at it sooner he's said he wouldnt mind! I just need to get my car working asap! It could do with a service anyway so I'd like to get the whole lot done so I can be rolling again! Any contacts in the area would be super!! Feel free to pass my mob on 07879 441670 cheers, Greig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
