and will soon be sold

yeh it is/was the wiring for the started motor:)........paul's (karnage's) mate helped to sort out wer we had gone wrong:)......all thats left to do is turn re route the black and red thin wire.......coz its got tagled up in the loom and is shorting over onto one of the other connections.......but the engine has now started to come back to life:D

:thumbs:

its deffo the starter motor wiring if all youve done is took the box out there is nothing else that would stop it from starting, or you have missed an earth strap somewhere

Niot tried that yet mate cos its going to be hard to do that with the position its in at the moment my mate seems to think that its deffo the starter motor wiring just cant seem to find an extra wire thats suppsozed to go to it, is he right when he says that the starter motor does not need earthingcos its self earthed ?
also found the gearbox earth plate so thats done and gearbox is filled just this daft problem now

does it bump start???

thought it was starter motor knackered so went and bought one from a scrappy not that think it might be wiring so hopefully sorted out soon but its doing my head in

I am getting power from the battery so it cant be that mate I am getting everyu gear on the box so surely it cant be that no idea about the pistons or the earth wire mate

box is seized?
there is a reversing switch in the box so that would be that

and the obvious is the batterey dead?

or is the starter wired up righ and the earth piontns put back in?

dont think its the lambda sensor mate I think that was all hooked up, basically where the box meets the engine where it bolts together on the engine side theres a thin black wire its fixed to the engine bu a black clip so it looks as if it does not go very far not really sure the length of it from the clp but I would say approxamately 2 foot long


Mike the lad that dont the box is coming rround today to fill the box with oil and check for probs as to why it aint starting so he should sort it a lot faster than me he did take off starter mtor so lets hope its that thanks chaps

Checked the starter motor wiring?

I think this happened to me once, it was a lose connection near the starter...and check the alternator wiring too.

its juse dead nothing there at all basically the immobiliser still works turn that off and turn the key and there is absolutley nothing there nothign turning over at all

one at the front could be reverse light switch.does it turn over ok or is it just dead

Just had an f 20 gearbox fitted took everythign out and put it back together but now I cant seem to get the car started any ideas on what it couls be everything has lit up so it aint power everything seemed to go back in as should do all I can think of is a sensor but I cant find anything im raking my brains and its driving me mad it just wont turn over at all I need help before it drives me mad need it on the road for tomorrow


I have found a sensor going into box it aint that but where the box fits to the engine on the oposite side of the box at the very front theres a very thin black wire with a cylinder shaped attatchment I think its got two very thin metal prongs any ideas what the hell it is
