Pissin Me Ryt Off i wna ryt if off !!!!
« on: 27 January 2013, 18:24 »
Got the 8v fixed from the shudderin problem i had in past week, it was distributor cap and rotar, also changed igniton leads. now the cars been 100% for 2 days, and since the snow melted away, and its been raining i noticed a problem, the b**** turns off on me whilst im drivin it, n when it turns off it dunt start back up, i have to rev the fu** out of it, n it will start. but its a pain in the arse,  i dno what it is, also when i start it up in mornin at half 6 it is dark and when i turn lights on the car turns off, so could the whole problem be the battery? or something else ?

Sounds like earth to me also.

Has it been covered in snow?

Perhaps a leak somewhere and now the snow has melted, water has got in somewhere and shorting out.

Check directly infront of your battery where your 3 main earths go down under the tray mate :). Had this issue last week.
