van not starting

Post by **kathyshack** » 13 Jun 2006, 15:08

Hi,
Just a quick one. My brothers van broke down on the way back from Isle of White festival. Well, they ran out of petrol. (the petrol guage don't work). Anyway, they got some petrol in it, but it still won't start. They ended up having to get towed back home. It has been mentioned that it could be the starter motor. How can we tell if it is the starter motor or not, or could it be that he has to do something else after running out of petrol etc?
Thanks in advance
Kathy
