Title: got a digital camera or a pair of eyes??
Post by: Justins145bhpMK1 on 30 May 2005, 21:22

Got a realy strange prob with my new 16v.


Every time revs drop ie during gearchange or coming to a junction the starter kicks in for about 2 secs, making me look like a spanner who cant change gear!! Looks like a brand new starter. Noticed that the live feed and the earth are on the same terminal which is a bit odd. can someone either take a quick pick of their starter for me or describe where the connections sit so I can sort it out. its embarasing!!!!

Your a star, looks like one of the leads on mine is on the wrong terminal. Hopefully I can fix it!!!
