[Jim320i]

You checked the battery isnt flat?


Stick at it mate, its always worth it when you finish.

[B7]

Have you checked the battery terminals are good? Earth strap to chassis and engine earth?

[magpie]

take a deep breath and have a cuppa. you can fix this Dave just hide the hammers.

[e30topless]

Have you tried to operate the starter motor by linking together pins 11 and 14 of the diagnostic socket ?

might sound daft but on pre-face I have had the ignition switch fail ?

[gaszman]

yes and the same thing happens quite odd

[e30topless]

what's it doing exactly ?

[gaszman]

turn the key starter clicks then nothing did this before i changed the starter
so back to square 1

have you tried attaching another to the starter then cranking over? use a jump lead had the same problem with mine when i put the engine in turned out i'd not attached one of the power cables

[Simon13]

/\ which is very easily done! theres TWO big power cables that attatch under the 13mm nut on the starter motor. Its easy for the one which runs straight across the bulkhead from the positive terminal to be forgotton. Namely because its black in colour! The other is red so is always put back on.

Sounds like your problem to me.

[whipsey]

thats the exact problem i had simon the one that go's from the battery across the bulkhead had managed to get pushed behind the servo

[Brianmoooore]

Mmmm! That could get quite interesting when the free end of the cable touches the servo body!
You remove a starter motor with a socket and ratchet, using an extension bar just longer than the starter motor. The bolt heads on the gearbox side just need to be held still.

[gaszman]

3 wires have been connected going to remove the starter and have a look

[Simon13]

should be 4 Dave!

1 on the 10mm nut, 1 on the 8mm nut and TWO on the 13mm.

You don't need to take the starter off, just look in the engine bay!

[gaszman]

didnt have 4 in the first place simon
do i have a missing wire
i have run it once as it is but it wont do it now ?
if i am missins a wire were is it and where does it come from

[bassboy]

that was the problem i had with Han's Baur too Dave

trust magpie to say park it on a hill never heard a senseble word come out of hes mouth

you fixed it yet bassboy?

[gaszman]

ok have found the prob the small wire to the 6m nut comes from ign switch is fooked so have to replace .
i know this because if you bridge the big terminala with the small 1 it turns the car over every time
and if you do this with the ign on it starts every time so thats that then
calling mat to do this tues and shewe be ok

[adit]

good, so i'll be able to drive it home then

[gaszman]

yes after tuesday cos the inside looks like a war zone
broke the under pannel too ggrrreeeeaaaattt stuff day just gets better

[adit]
