I've just had the same problem and I think it's the earth for the starter, if there is such a thing- connecting a jump lead to the chassis and then clipping the other end to the starter gets it going every time......

Is the starter earthed to the engine through the top bolt?

'kin' skint mate and have a JX lump- it remains to be seen whether it's knackered yet

Yep Ringo all you say is true, but the thing's been lying for two years doing nowt and I have no vehicle, and I just don't wanna buy a car again- ye cannae get an 8x4 sheet in the back o' a car!!!!! Ultimately I want a 1.9 or 2.5 mTDi in it, already have the pump from Giles Gallie, but this is just ...

Haven't been inside the JX yet, if it's knackered then I've not lost too much cash and I'll consider something else.

I've recently found a good JX lump and am gonna put it in my van to replace a normally aspirated 1.6 which blew up on me.

Pardon me if I'm missing the point guys, but why wouldn't you want to say the manifacturer or particular type of pump- I thought this was supposed to be a forum for the sharing of all or any information pertaining to the Type 25, why would you keep tight-lipped about info that could help a lot of pe...

Thanks mate I've just spoken to my uncle and he says that there are 6 wires in total coming off the engine- how many should there be on a 1y? It's really frustrating 'cos I'm trying to do this over the phone, but they can't find any indication that it's even a 1y.........can anyone tell me where to ...

Hi all, I've got a lovely T25 with a fried 1.6 standard diesel in the back lying at my family's garage, and it's awaiting surgery to fit a 1.9 1Y engine from a golf. My uncle's the mechanic there so I've scourged this forum and Brickyard to find any relevant details on performing such an operation, ...
