Car Won't Start!

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Like this?

Hello, my name is mik and my car is broken.

Its got a little shimmy in the front left brake.

I think its the radius rod mount. the hole has been enlarged by bad previous owners driving into something.

Weld a plate? New k frame? Them brace gk tech thingys?

[Duncan]

weld a plate (or a big washer) I reckon. and replace the bushes too

[StinkyPoo]

I should have radius rod mount brackets....... but I should double check. I can't remember if I threw them out.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Yes

Want anyway

car won't start update?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Well mines fixed. Got a new bracket, a nice straight one.

that bits fixed..... other bits still need work.

brakes need machining, gaskets on exhaust or turbo leaking, diffs fked, etc etc.

Mine has been fine, but I've been too scared to use the high beams

It wasn't the alternator. I'm thinking it might be the clamps on the battery? Tats said he had a similar issue where doing just one "extra" thing stole too much power and made the car shut down and he discovered one of his clamps hanging off.

Mine aren't hanging off, but I've had problems with them before.

I checked those. Didnt move by hand. But doesnt hurt to nip them up a bit

^ depending on the type of battery, some have a removable plastic washer at the base of the terminals, which when taken off, lets you clamp them down better

I know my car has a slightly wonky earth somewhere, so this week I am determined to fix it

Yeah I know, they're clamped on good but when I had issues before they were too - it was more a bit of a build up of gunk that was doing it and making the connection fail, rather than any looseness.

I figured with a brand new battery it would all be clean and sorted, but maybe the clamps are still gunky on the inside?

I have a Funky wire brush with a male side for the inside of the clamps and a female for around the poles if you wish to use it?

serious. Can bring to Cruise if need be...

[Shell]

Yeah that would be great! The "poles" (lol) should be fine cos it's a brand new battery... typical, it's the male part playing up!!

I think I need to buy some of that terminal spray stuff to try as well.

[Got a Pulsar]

Lol. Terminal Spray doesn't sound so good.

One Squirt and your Dead.

I will bring my Pole / Cranny Brush.

so funny

I haven't had any issues since putting it back together. Managed to purchase a new igniter for $50 on ebay and its yellow haha

Not spending any more money on the 33

Until I start swapping it back to stock

[Got a Pulsar]

Hit me up if you need such things as...

Stock Cooler, Dump, Frontpipe and cat (gutted) etc...

[Manuel Kasko]

I will most probably keep the exhaust/intercooler on the car. But I'll let you know when I save the cash
