Are they A series engines? Cos if not it wont match up to the gearbox. The 120A's are front wheel drive and have the odd gearbox under the engine setup.

Just a guess but I think thats what he means

That wasnt a leak as such. That was the chassis anti-corrosion system that we need in the UK

Wiring is fairly simple if you know what your doing (tho I suppose everything is simple if you know what your doing ). It would probably be worth taking to your local garage for them to have a look. An hours labour would prob cost less than buying and postage for a complete loom.
Also, a complete loom may not fix the problem as there may be a component failure.


edit: Also, if the car is not even turning over then there are very few wires involved. There should be one large wire going straight from your battery(+) to the starter, one small wire which is your ignition feed which should become 'live' when your key is in the crank position, and an earth from your engine to your battery (-). Regardless of the rest of the wiring, if these three are OK then your engine will turn over if your starters good)

Time to migrate i think

You working in the UK anytime soon?

It sounds like you have a bad connection from your jumper cable. The cables would have sparked even with the donar car switched off. If you have a poor connection you can have some power transfer (ie lights) but when under high load (starting) you can lose the connection altogether.

Dials now installed into glovebox front,,,,,


Testing the lights....

Was only joking. I wouldnt buy a Brit car either. Working for Land Rover I get fed up of changing V8 head gaskets on an almost daily basis. Thats why both my cars are Jap. The Dat and a Hilux
