then maybe its something he has done/not done


would this make the engine non responsive?

this is the first time the engine has been attempted to start! so thinkin u may be right. where and how do i rewire this plug?

do i need one from a 1.8? if i got a bcm from a 1.8 would this help?

a few have had problems with the multiplug on the rear of the dash
just requires rewiring with a modified multiplug if so



yea it is! would this not allow the engine to even consider ticking over/firing up?!

im hopeful its that. he said he took it off to play around with the exhaust. and isnt sure if he reconnected it...

so surely without the starter motor ground the engine would b dead to the world?

ok it would seem that the whole car works. except for the fact that......the engine management light does not light or anything. to initalise!

now my mechanic has told me he is not sure if he connected back up the starter motor earth!

would this cause the engine to not wanna play ball?
