Hi all,
Yeah so you've probably seen my threads about me and my starter motor well my friend let me down for the 95th time today so sapped him off and gave up with him...fed up of being let down constantly.
I couldn't believe it but I actually managed to change the starter motor myself from above the engine with a few spanners and no sockets! a 13, a 10 and a 14 is what i needed to get the job done
AND!!
I disconnected the battery expecting to lose the radio code (didn't get one with the car) and hooked it back up and it did a 'search' and hey presto we're back in business!!
Had some troubles along the way though - took quite a while for the diesel to come through etc. but got there in the end!!
NEVER AM I LETTING HER RUN OUT OF DIESEL AGAIN!!
2 stroke tomorrow!!
So here's my next problem on the list to fix....
So I boot it, foot down (lets say along the slip road to join the motorway) and when doing so all of a sudden the car stop accelerates and slows down for 3-4 seconds (my foot still down to the floor at this point) and the traction control light comes on. Then it will pick up again (traction control light still staying on) and I'll continue along then if I hit say 80mph (whatever the speed) and ease off so as not to accelerate even more the car throws your neck forward as it stops accelerating and slows again...
Sorry its so difficult to explain without being there and driving it!
Anyone got any ideas at all? really need to get this one sorted as its driving me round the bend!
Thanks,
James
