Suspected FFS - Not turning over
Well, on a lovely Monday morning, just about to set of to work except the car won't turn over.
2002 V6 190 So I'm suspecting FFS and that I'll need a FOC. I went to start it as normal and it caught for a second and then I could have sworn I heard a "clunk" from behind me then it failed to turn over. At least it's done it outside the house and not somewhere else. Oh the joys of motoring and monday mornings! |

I thought with FFS it would turn over but wouldn't fire

Yeah possibly me not phrasing it right, just doesn't want to fire up.
Anyway, time for a walk to work. |

And Uncle Bri to the rescue - within 30 minutes of arrival, all sorted
It was indeed FFS, and with the fitting of a NSFWC (Not so fabled white clip) service was restored. That is why you cannot beat guys like Brian - knowledge and experience, plus the right tool for the job and it was the very definition of a quick and easy fix. Thanks again Brian!! |
