Re: Temperamental Starter Motor

Thanks again for all the replies. After almost 2 weeks of daily use and multiple starts I’ve not had any further issues. On occasions it’s been lazy i.e. a delay after turning the key first thing in the morning but then second start of the day is instant. As recommended I’m going to replace the main...

Thanks for the replies.

Stripped Pressure Switch Port

Hi everyone. New here but finding the forum extremely useful! recently purchased an 89 1.9DG. It had a known BOD fault and I’d seen that it had a white “high” oil pressure switch fitted instead of the grey. I changed it out and also planned to change the “low” blue at the same time. Oil pressure had...
