dickie 0 Posted January 9, 2011 no and it didnt look like any water had got into the engine bay either, i thought maybe it'd got damp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted January 9, 2011 have you checked the ignition system? got a fair amount of petrol in the tank? I found out the hard way that the edge of the red on the gauge is actually empty in my car :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickie 0 Posted January 10, 2011 fuels fine, cant see any problems on the ignition that are obvious but might be time to give it a new dizzy cap and arm etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
