Soon....soon you may understand exactly why ploughing the kangaroo in my old 33 was the most relieving feeling I've ever felt with regards to that car ;) Shame it happening just after I ironed out the latest issues it had though lol

Try some start ya bastard.

If it doesnt fire than its spark. If it does fire its fuel

this is a good point, though I wouldn't bother until you've fiddled with the connector plugs as I'm pretty sure you'll have to pull off the crossover pipe or something for this to be effective (could be wrong).

POWERS OF DEDUCTION, PEOPLE. Look it up. This is the absolute most basic skill requirement when performing any kind of troubleshooting. Without it you might as well just sell the car and buy another one that's running, it'll potentially save you a farkload of time.

Troy is correct, start off with the simple of most simple and work your way up. It sounds like itl be something simple like a battery or it could be AFM. Doesn't sound major since it just won't start all of a sudden, it didn't just conk out on you half way to work lol....

It conked out as I went to take off though so that's what made me really worried.

Verms I'm on south side in Red Hill.

I would really appreciate it if you have the time but I won't be home until about 6:15

If you're more than happy to then I would love the help. (Just don't go out of your way if you have other things planned)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
