FFS you are a contractor.
Buy a new car, something expensive and eco unfriendly that belittles permies.

Well, we'll have to wait and see if he can fix it. I'm still plumping for the starter switch.

A Triumph Spitfire was the only car where I was unable (due to the front cross member getting in the way) to bonk inside... so took her outside & we did it over the boot..... down a dark country lane - suddenly illuminated by car coming around the bend... I ducked down into a ditch trousers around ankles leaving her to recover her composure alone!Originally posted by zeitghostI remember a similar fault on a Triumph Spitfire/Vitesse (a pile of tulipe if ever there was one...).
Engine started ok, but stopped as soon as you let the key go.
Turned out to be the ballast resistor to the coil (which is shorted out during starting...).
That's very unlikely to be what's wrong with your car, but hey! I've got to keep my posting averages up.
Ahhh whatever happened to.....How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

A true gentleman will shag a bird over the bonnet.

What? and look like a complete twat!Originally posted by DimPrawnBuy a new car, something expensive and eco unfriendly that belittles permies.
Those who drive huge 4x4s nowadays just look like drug-dealing lowlife (in the towns) and simply don't make any sort of statement in the country.
It's cool to be eco-friendly Prawn!
What subaquatic rock are you living under?
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
