Hi all!
Well, I finally ventured into my garage to give "Stealth bat" the once over. I haven't turned the engine since December because quite simply - she wouldn't fire up! I checked the battery, fine, checked the water, fine, checked water levels, fine, checked the oil - no "mayo" on either cap or dip stick, colour good, fine. Blew the tyres up, fine.
I then "rocked the car" and rolled her back & forth, fine.
Took a big breath, got in, switched on the ignition all system lights did what the were supposed to do, fine.
Turned the ignition switch on and NOTHING!
Slight click from rear - could be stater?
Got into my trusty Landrover and towed her out of the garage backwards.
Got her on the straight and tow started her - SHE FIRED, YIPEE!
Took her round the block and remembered why I bought her in the first place last August.
Got home, put her in the garage and turned the engine off.
Tried to start her and NOTHING!
I think It's got to be the Starter Motor and/or contacts.
Before I take her to the garage or call out an Auto Electrician on Monday - anybody, (Clive especially!) got any more pointers to offer?
I'd be gratefull to hear from you because apart from this issue, I've got a list as long as my arm of things I want to get on with the "bat"
Many thanks!
Richard
