Re: [doc] Help with non starter and frozen door.

["Mike" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well just another example of how some loading companies work :(, 
seems to me you have two problems one being the battery / starter and 
the other because its been starved of fuel at the same time  ... 
obviously once you find out the source of the starting problem ...the 
fuel prob should hopefully resolve itsself.

Im right up in hull but there are a few members around your way ...im 
sure chris p and put you in touch...????

Sorry your door cant open ....i bet thats a right pain on top of all 
this i will email you the details i have on the adjustments of the 
same tonight.... can you forward your email address to 
mike.bosworth 'at' btinternet.com    ( change the 'at' to @ )

I would get your starter/ soinoid looked at and checked over first 
and then take it from there....let us know how u get on matey... 
thomas m on the list has just had the same problem on his 'Auto' im 
assuming yours isnt an auto ???

Regards

Mike
