Hi,

 

Tried to start the 300 this morning but failed (deep dread started..)

 

Anyway got home tonight and had a look at the car, found 2 harness conectors half off and one connector completely off on the drivers side of then engine block (about half way down) - dont know what it does, anyway as you expect after finding each problem and jumping back in the car - I expected it to start :( but NO!

 

I saw the check engine light was on the dash, and when i switched the ignition on a could hear an electrical humming. Eventually found a broken wire in a harness connector - in the most inaccessible place possible - right in the middle of the engine block near the window (getting to it requires quite a balancing act leaning across the engine). Unfortuantely i dont know where there are any pics of the engine to highlight it.

 

It is such a fiddle to get to, i have tried to prepare the wire for soldering but I have only barely got enough for a solder job, though getting the soldering iron will be a juggling act (i am not the best solderer).

 

Am i best getting an auto electrician in or best talking to the garage i got it from (and trying to get them to sort it). Do you reckon someone will manage it or will they have to dismantle a load of the engine to do the job properly?

 

If anyone has some pics of the engine at the centre back, i could show you what i mean..

 

Thanks

 

Barry

    can`t be of great help then man, sorry. I know a hugely great auto sparky but he`s about 2 miles from me in Shropshire!

     

    Best suggestion I can come up with is to get in touch with Luke at Zcentre. He knows folk all over and may well be able to help ya.

     

     

    Hope all goes well and sorry that I can`t help you more.

    Thanks anyway, I will try the garage I bought it from as they specialise in imports - trouble is getting it seen to when i am work all week. If the connection was not so hard to get to and i could do it daylight - then i would have a go soldering it. Its a bugger i cant drive it to a garage :(

     

    Anyway see what i can get done at the garage..
