Rogue Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 :cry: Morning everyone, Well as the title says, my supe wont start again this morning. Gutted! I drove through floods last night to pick my mum up from work so she didn't get soaked. Seems to have power (all the lights come on) but all I get again is a click. (oh and I replaced the battery at the weekend so it cant be that) Is it possible that something got flooded in all the rain? Or is it just that my Starter motor is shagged?

Lewis Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 SM shagged or the battery (maybe your alternator isn't charging it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I'd (still) try recharging the battery, even though you replaced it. If this works and it goes dead again after a few days then I'd suspect the alternator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi mate, this is the battery by the sounds of it, i know you had new one but i still reckon theres no power in the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Cheers Guys, thanks for your help. I'll try it at the weekend and see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Just another thing to look for... My car was not starting for 6 weeks and it was due to a faulty FCD... Other things i did to locate the problem: (Can do a search to find exact how to do it) Engine Diagnostics: Fuel Pump Test: Checked for loose hose (intercooler pipes etc) Checked passenger/drivers foortwell and engine bay for loose wire/connection that could of come loose Tested for spark (Take a spark plug out and check its sparks when engine starting) Fuel Filter blocked? I took off the pipe to the right of the throttle body and then ran another pipe into a coke bottle - i then did the fuel pump test and the bottle filled up quickly - so that wasn't blocked. After dismantiling the car i had it towed to Whiffin's who fixed it in about 5 mins... Doh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
