RE: [doc] Starter Motor & Door Switches

It looks as though its awkward to get to which is why I suggested the removal of the battery and to use jump leads to connect to the jump start post and the engine block. This way you are completely by-passing the potential poor connection between the chassis and -ve battery connection.

If its a starter with a solenoid then the solenoid may be a bit duff. The starter may need removing and bench testing. Test twice, pay once!

Hi Martin

How can reach it though? when you feel underneath it seems it is welded to the crosmember. I really need to know the routing.

Did you get my cheque o/k? I will put the bush in Friday if you can post it to me.

It is definitely worth checking this ground point on the chassis. NB the starter does turn comparatively slowly compared to 4 cylinder cars - it's quite a torquey lump, even though the compression is low.

BTW that stuff arrived from the US on Saturday.

Hi Nick

Thanks for the email,

I had the battery checked with a heavy load and it was o/k, I charged it up any way just to make sure, overnight.

From what I can see the main positive lead from the battery (which is quite thick) goes directly to the starter, then (thinner cable) goes back to the ancillary circuits, then to the jump start point. I thought that measuring the voltage here would be o/k.

The earth lead conects to one of the starter bolts then seems to attach to a cross member under the car. which cannot be seen it goes between the crossmember and the gearbox. This could be the problem.. Do you know what the routing should be?

Can you just confirm that the voltage on the starter should be 9 volts.

Thanks
