Ian C Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 As an update to all - I just found the cause of my electrical problems and fixed it. An earth point, buried under the intake manifold and an engine wiring loom, had become disconnected totally (bolt was nowhere to be seen). One new bolt later, she started first time. I'm a happy bunny, and I know rather more than I used to about MkIV electrics and electrical diagnosis in general. My thanks to all who assisted on this forum, and credit must go to Mr. Peter Betts, esq. who performed above & beyond the call of duty in reading and replying to my behemoth emails, pointing me in the right direction, and answering my questions. Just gotta order those bigger injectors now... -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 The clonk you heard whilst driving will have been the bolt then! Still glad you've fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Good news Ian. There's something satisfying about fixing these faults yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted March 18, 2002 Author Share Posted March 18, 2002 There's something cheaper about it as well -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
