hmmmm, dont sound promising does it. Gunna change all the wiring tonight, and if that doesnt work, im gunna take it to Retromotorsport as he can re-align/check the mesh, and get the starter checked next to where he is based.

i reckon a second could be about right TBH.

well done V8ian, i wouldnt see that for shit! do they do the ring connectors to suit?

moist!

looks a bit shonky in that vid. Why are the cars bouncing about? looks like a bug

what about this? Gary @ Retro said get some welding earth cable. http://www.engweld.co.uk/product.php?item=94

had a look on there and they dont have any long enough. my battery is in the boot, so needs to be quite long.

are these the people mate? http://www.multimap.com/clients/browse. ... ient2=cef1 one quite close to me.

no, definately not IMO. mine rubbed on 175/50's

for the battery to starter motor? Gotta be nice thick stuff.

that looks the nuts

right, took the starter out yesterday, and the ring gear looks like its been chewed slightly. Its always been ok though to be honest. i think its where the starter has given up and just spun the pinion on the outside of the teeth. also, i had 4 leads going onto the starter. 1 was from the battery, 2 of them went onto the alternator (dunno why), and there was another red one that went into to loom. is that right? today im going to go and buy a load of new ring connectors, and change the power lead from the battery. see what happens.

not tried with the lights on. battery is fully charged, as i did it yesterday.

I wo uld say Track n Road, or NMS.

ok, just been outside with it and tried again. Basically, it sounds as though its lazy, as when you turn the key, its hardluy turns the engine, then after a second or 2, a really nasty noise occurs with sounds like metal to metal. i can only imagine thats the pinion on the ring gear doing something dodgy. starters not loose at all either. would it be worth me taking out the motor and checking the pinion? the bell housing is aftermarket one afterall

ok thanks mate. i will try that. battery is in the boot, so where would be best to earth it to on the car? its curently on the firewall part behind the seats.

had mine for about 2 months now, and i think it may have gone "lazy". Changed the battery and it wasnt that. Doesnt really want to spin the engine over that quickly, like the battery is going flat. any help would be appreciated! Cheers Mike

i use my rs2000 all year, and the cossie stays in the garage. it was fooking freezing this morning, but luckily my heaters pretty good on slow setting.

i work in a bike shop bud, but cant help ya out as we dont keep DVD's in stock.

ahhhh, thats he beastie you were telling me about. interesting to say the least!

they look the nuts

they are cool. Do you reckon you could do me one?

your lucky it wasnt blown up then! lol

Nice one Steve! ive had a x-flow head off him, and he refurbed my Cossie head too, both brilliant jobs. PROPER engines, and no bullshit attitude, just the way it should be! i LOVE my 185 spec pinto.

whats the difference between the £1150 tran x box, and the £2850 dog box they do? is the cheaper one a straight cut one? CONFUSED!
