lindy33 0 Posted March 1, 2006 i have had my g60 off the road for a couple of months , i insured it today and went for a cruise, came home and went to start it a couple of hours later and the starter solinoid was clicking like the battery was low but then smoke started coming from my front drivers side goodridge brake hose, which i prosume it was earthing through, i kept mucking about with it and it then started and is fine now except a buggered brake hose, anyone got any ideas?

steveo29 0 Posted March 2, 2006 are you sure it was the brake hose?? the flat battery/solenoid thing points to a bad earth cable on the battery Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaz the geezer 0 Posted March 2, 2006 you really neeed to replace/clean up the earth cable between the engine and body edit: you may well have to replace the brake hose if it got too hot...just to be safe like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lindy33 0 Posted March 2, 2006 yes the brake hose is all melted and leaking fluid now, just ordered one from goodridge. the earth lead from the throttle body to the bulk head doesnt look in great shape ,this could be the problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
