VTISmichael Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Right cleaned the all the earths, i only started it briefly to move it, did the contacts so an an hour later stated ger again and it seemed to struggle a little bit, will have to wait till tomorrow. I have to say the starter is is small! and looks quite old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 It could be the starter giving up, but you need to charge the battery or give it a damn good run to charge it, oh, check the water level in the battery if it's low top up and do as above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 I think its the starter, i havent tested the amp output yet of the battery, it doesnt look that old and the volts was 12.5v this morning which is pretty gd! First thing i checked the water level and i have already topped it up. Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If it was the starter it would struggle every time you went near it I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 It started better this morning and i looked up starters last night, how do some people on ebay think that a used starter can be worth £100-150! When ive seen them new for £60!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 12.5 volts, seems ok, it might be worth putting a new starter on if there only 60 quid, thats pretty good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 So far over the last few days its been starting better, not great but better. Today i did a tiny bit of off roading and a knocking started, so i thought oh no not the exhuast! Turns out a peg right after the rear box was sticking out over the anti roll bar and i think it had hooked itself underneth. Cut just over an inch off and problem solved! Oh removed the rear wheel cover as i have noticing every crv owner has one on lol And i friend of mine needed another big car after her piece of sh*t citroen's front wheel ball joint snapped whilst driving! so i suggested a CRV and the next day she bought one lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
