No she's a manual, im running out of ideas quickly!

as said - check PTU & CAS connectors (or the units themselves)

PTU's are prone to failure on our cars.

also, have you checked to see if any fault codes are stored in the ECU?

It'd better get fixed Brett!! lol! I cant buy a car that doesnt start!

Guess your could get Metering?

I.e. try to isolate yaself...

 

Get it to Phil at C and S or better still give him a Bell and tell him Rossy said you'd give us some free advise LOL No, realy he will do his utmost to help you...

 

Now, if I can just find his number...

 

01942 892568

 

and if he can't help over the phone....buy the Shed Sierra!!! See for sale sec!!

 

:~)

Good Luck..

Ok guyz.. Sorry to bring this one back up.. But im back in the Uk now, about to take ownership of this car.... Any ideas for me to have a look at?

If anyones willing, got a spare day tommorrow, feel free to gimme a ring on 07833 102779, ill buy them a beer or two if all gets sorted, just need wheels as im kinda stranded at the moment with no transport...
