hi guys,
checked what's been written before - and its given me some ideas to check - but whilst i'm doing that - is there anything else i could check?
Problem: series 3 diesel 2.25. engine turns at normal speed for say, 2 turns and stops dead (no clicks from soloniod or lights dimming) - leave for a couple of minutes and you can do same (2 turns and stop) -try straight away and engine just 'thumps'. No trminals feel hot. Battery is new and charged. Found this after i changed heaters (old series style for new). Have swapped old ones back and have also disconnected whole heater system - just in case. So................Earthing problem - or worse?
-the floor is yours oh wise ones!!
