Winter mate!! Went through a flood on the road on Sunday, now the thing wont even start, just turns over and over. Changed the usual electrical/ sparky bits but seems to be something else.
Mine is always a trouble starter in the winter though  :sad:

Last winter was bad for the poorburg carburettor, but this year the car is fully winter prepped!


...shame I've just bought a jetta run-around with a poorburg carb to drive during winter!  :grin:
