Hey Ho, just another day owning a Saxo

[willsy]

Damn thing wont start :fcuk: I was supposed to be at work 10 minutes ago.

Have no idea what the problem is when turning the key theres just a horrible sound which sounds like a woodpecker coming from where the injector is

Ive tried getting a hairdryer on the engine for 5 minutes thinking it may just be the cold...no success.

Why is it they always start fine anytime other than first thing in a morning when theres bugger all you can do about it?

If its not the cold and injectors screwed then thats approx £150-200 to replace apparently....

Low milage VTS engine to replace instead? mmm

My Saxo started lovely this morning ;) -- Despite having to de-ice the front and back windows :p.

Now your just rubbing it in lol!
I havent got a clue about engines Willsy, but it is a damn good excuse
to get a VTS engine imo :p

Even a VTR engine would do

[Scott]

is starter turning over? Possibly your woodpecker fellow, hit it with a hammer

[S9_DAN]

Just do the VTS conversion, your going to do it some time so may aswell be now !!

[willsy]

No it wouldnt :P You dont understand the lack of power with the 1.0i ive got some catching up to do so only the VTS will satisfy my desires :)


Just got home and starter solonoid is the one making the horrendous machine gun/ woodpecker type noise but theres no power turning anything else over to start the car up

Ive got a sneaky suspicion that my battery is fudged

[Mystic]

I love the atitude to engine conversions lol.

"my interior light bulb seems to flicker when its on"

"hmmm, stick a vts lump in it, you will be having too much fun to care about a flickering light"

Swap the battery with a mates car or somthin Willsy, see if they have any luck with your batt or if you have any luck with theirs.

[willsy]

ive got jump leads just incase :) Ill try and fire it up off the next car i see

[stevossaxo]

good luck bro

[saxoash]

It will start with a bump mate, batteries hate this weather

[coylzer]

french cars suck

[Mystic]

french cars suck

So thats what FCS stands for! :clapping:

[beastgtir]

Push start it. Ive done it on my own before just for a laugh, started pushing it abit then jumped in and 2nd gear, ingnition on and let the clutch up and straight onto the accelerator.

[willsy]

IT LIVES!!!!

Battery was completely drained, nothing in it to even force a splutter. (Has flat Batt before but never that far gone) All is apparenty well again now.

[carter]

No it wouldnt :P You dont understand the lack of power with the 1.0i ive got some catching up to do so only the VTS will satisfy my desires :)




i understand mate! im in the 1.0l club aswell thats why only a vts will do for me next!

glad shes back running again though! :y:

[Luke]

Oh the joys of a Saxo mate.

Least it's all sorted now, but before it gives you anymore trouble get that bloody VTS Engine sorted.

[Mystic]

Imagine... a flat battery and the first few suggestions are a vts engine conversion. hehe

[Global_discovery]

My Saxo started ok today, usually starts better I find with the clutch down on cold days. Must be less weight for it to turn. Only thing to do was de ice everything and stick the heater on!

[Trance-Robbo]

everything is slow in the mornings.say iff you had to stand out side at night, stood still and did not move at all for hmm 10 hours.then u sore sum1 setting your house on fire, its gunna be chuffin hard to chase him.
when i start up the beast i usually get up a hour earlier and just hug the engine.works a treat.!!

[Dan]

Just get a vts in there anyway Matt.
