Got my new car yesterday!!! almost....
Drove 200 miles to Southampton on tuesday with my brother in his 1970's mini!!
paid the nasty customs people ally thier money, get the keys and turn them...... NOTHING!!!! engine turns over but no fire!
more fuel... nothing...
now dead battery... borrow a booster pack and hook it up to the mini... still dead...
and to compound the problem... the exhaust was totally ****ckd!
now the car is being transported back to my house on friday... £200 for the delivery, £150 for a new exhaust... (Thanks Jamie) arse... and I still have to try to make it work!!! I hate being skint!
anyone have any ideas or pointers on what causes the engine not to fire??
where is the fuel pump located? and the fuel filters?
or is there something more simple that ive overlooked??
Oh, and it doesnt have an imobiliser....
