I shall undergo a drop voltage test tomorrow on the starter motor and then go from there. Thank you very much for all your help mate, it's much appreciated. I shall be glad when I get the car working again and back on the road. :D :D Chris

Hi Foxspeed. Many thanks for getting back to me. What is the best way of accessing the starter motor to test the voltage on the cables going to the starter motor? Also is the fuel pump under the skirt infront of the rear drivers side wheel? I'm just going by where it is on my mums vauxhall...

Hi Guys, I haven't posted on here for a while so hope all is well. I have a 2006 197 with 65k on the clock. The majority of the time its been a reliable engine but for the past year I have had this intermittent starting problem which over the past 1 month it has got worse and worse. You can...

Hyde200 how did you adjust the catch. Did you tighten a screw on the catch which is attached to the car?

I'm glad someone else is having this problem and it's not just me. I am tempted to unscrew the black plastic cover that covers the wiper motor and wiring up and see if there is anything loose in there.

Hi Mate, Would I need to take the catch off the boot to check the switch or is it accessible to tighten with the catch on the boot?

Hi Guys, :D Hope all is well. I have a albi 197 06 plate. I've been experiencing this knocking sound which sounds like it's coming from the boot lid when going over slight bumps in the road and gets worse the worse the road gets. It started off quiet months ago now its got noisier and more...

Awesome car and what a fantastic job you have done. Great valet!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheers for your adivice guys, I shall have a look into it. :)

Any advice chaps?

Hi mate, Cheers for getting back to me on this. It looked like it just popped out from underneath with a flat head screw driver but wasn't to sure, I thought I better ask first in case I damage anything. Many thanks once again dude. Nice 197 by the way :D

Looks awesome mate. Have you got any in car footage so we can hear the induction sound? Glad you are happy with your purchase. I have a ITG panel filter as I couldn't afford the Maxogen nor a smaller battery at the time of purchase.

Hi, I realised today that only my drivers side indicator light is half flooded. It flashes now and again but now all the time like all the other indicator bulbs due to the water being in it. How do I remove this to drain the water out? Is there a way I can just remove the indicator and not the...

Hi Guys, I never thought I would wright a post about this but here goes. I have a albi 197 with 55k a tad over on the clock and I do a max of 6-7k a year. Over the past 2 months when I start the car when the engine is cold, I hear a gurgling sound , which sounds like it's coming from behind...

Hi Guys, Many thanks for your feed back it's much appreciated. I went to Halfords auto centre to get a free battery check and they found the voltage on the battery fine, if anything higher than normal. They also tested how much current the alternator was pushing out and it was just above 14.5...
