Right I dont know if this is the right section, so mods feel free to move it, but i just got to say the biggest Heroes tonight for me at Ace Cafe, were Demlotcrew (Andrew) & Dips.

Went to my mechanic today, and had wilson325i and my mate Michael following me everywhere helping me push the car as i was told that the starter motor was gone and i needed a new one which would have made the third one in near enough a year, at a rate of £80 labour.

Called Dips and told him i will bring the car to Ace Cafe and Dips then got Andrew and after 10mins at Ace Cafe, the car started, and it was all down to one wire not being tightened properly. (told you I have got no idea about cars :D )

so this post is just to say THANK YOU BIG TIME FOR YOUR HELP! and i did not have much money on me but next time i come to ace i will get a couple of rounds in, Thanks again. you have saved me £Â£'s

This was the third one in a year? Diagnosed and changed by professional mechanics at £80-00/hr? And this one is cured in a couple of minutes by a couple of knowledgeable zoners?
I'd think twice about going anywhere near those mechanics again! The words "off" and "ripped" come to mind!

Well done Andy!

Was it an earth strap?

I changed my starter motor all due to a loose earth strap. :x
