Re: [doc] My problem

[Nick Tomlinson <nickandkathryntomlinson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Thomas,
 
If it's a manual gearbox, try bump starting the car using 2nd gear. If it then starts and runs then there's a problem with the usual battery/ cables/ starter/ solenoid/ relays etc etc
 
If battery goes less than 9v when cranking then battery isn't charged up enouugh or suitable. (Charge off car and perform acid specific gravity test)
 
You should get no more than 0.1v between cable points. If you do there is a poor connection.
 
Good luck....hope it's not the start itself !
 
Nick.

Rights heres the symptoms. When I turn the key, all the belts in the engine move a few inches then nothing. With the spark plugs out (and no pressure in the cylinders) the engine can turn over freely and perfectly, so the engine isnt seized. The starter motor has been removed and tested so thats not the problem either.

Any help or advice would be apreciated! If I can't fix it the car will have to be sent to Paul O'Malley to be worked on (dont trust anyone else) and I would rather try and get it going myself.

Thanks a lot,
Thomas
