Well after the battery killed itself and the starter motor went, i'm awaiting the post for a new starter motor. Hopefully this will solve the none starter.
I was looking over the car with pompeymark the other day, and discussion went along the lines of how unlucky this has been.
So, i thought i'd make a list of what has actually gone wrong/not right, albeit my fault/unlucky, a problem is a problem.
Starting with engine removal:
Seized driveshaft O/S
Broken driveshaft N/S
incorrect water pump for new block
neuisance flywheel
useless fuel pump
cambelt timing 4 times
injector issues
broken intercooler
dead battery numerous times
starter motor bust
alternator needed modifying
hit a deer - front end replace
bumper mounts corroded
oil filter split
new radiator split
popped water hose
sparking starter motor
leaky gearbox
and i think that's about it... so yeh, not the luckiest of changes, but it's getting there; from the list, the only issue lay with the electrics. Starter on the way, fingers crossed, once more..a
