Youre a star mate.

Where is exactly is the electro-valve? Do i have to open up the fuel tank cap - where the fuel pump is to get to it or what?

Also what gauge wire should be used to hook the battery to the starter?

The elctro-valve is located under the chassis, just above the fuel thank, about 10-20cm towards front of the car. I manged to get her from here but it's possible from under the car too. Just follow the flow hose (the one from the right of the car). You can also track the wires who connect to this valve.

...Any cable? I used something like this. That is not the starter, is a start/stop solenoid. Don't confuse them.

You can start without removing this valve, in order to see if the engine is cranking. Follow the other steps and if the engine tries to start, you can remove this valve too. It's easier.

Cheers dude.

Ive had it cranking, just doesnt attempt to fire.

Then remove the electro-valve.
Also, make sure the fuel lines are well primed and no air is present.
When you touch the start/stop solenoid with the wire, does make an audible "click"?

Ok, noted.

No idea, havent had chance to try the wire thing yet due to the weather and ive a busy weekend. But will try to do it at some point.

Right guys, unless i hear from Anadinolin, i will be ringing the scrapper within the next week.

Which is a shame.

Hiya Criticalmass,

Unfortunatly i cannot afford the car

unless you'll take £25 for it, but i think youll get better scrapping it. Sorry dude, its a shame to see it go, hopefully someone will come along and buy it before the ETD

[Criticalmass]

ok mate, no worries. Thanks for letting me know.
