As you all know me and this car don't get along. Saturday it's going as I should be picking up a new one. At the moment I'm sat with it not working in Norbury. Electrics come on but there is no turnover whatsoever. Put the key in and it just clicks. I'm thinking the starter motor is shagged (or possibly my car has burnt through it's wires re alternator) Where is it located? I've got a lengthy weight till RAC get here so if I can check it I might as well. Thanks. |

On second thoughts could it be the immobiliser? |

Doing it backwards then, give it a push and let it roll and jump in and bump it. |

Do you know what the starter motor looks like? As I don't.. But if you do, whack it with a hammer. Thats the extent of my advice

Can't be immobiliser has been reset the immobiliser light cones on and goes off as normal. I also have the main key (red one) so unless my key is buggered. If it gets towed spare is at home or with Matt so will have to try that one. |
