electric problem
« on: December 21, 2005, 22:55:44 »
what a pain in the ass, im off to Bures on the 27th and the Hybrids gone tits up on me, was ticking over on the drive for a while, engine warmed right up, then she missed a beat thought she was gona stall but she fired up again all in a second like id just flicked her off then straight back on again, she continued to tick over for a minuit or so then totaly died, she will not fire up now, engine turns over strong, batterys fully charged but she does'nt seem to be sparking, im gona have a good look tomorow when its light, am thinking maybe coil, she has had recent leads, ill check cables from starter, also coil leads and for any loose wires, she runs on recent luminition so no dodgy points to worry about, as i say the starter moto is turning fine so the problems inline after that...

any other ideas
shes full classic V8 Rangerover running gear
