Elo boys, I have had starting problems for a while now (only in the cold, fuel relay goes mad and engine just turns over and over) Today i had enough and took it to me local (not pub) to get the battery checked. oooo they said, you have a 06 battery not an 05. They said the one i have at the mo is pushing out too much and is slowly cooking my car. £80 they say for the right one, £80 . So i was wondering what codes you lot have, and if any of you have some good advice.

[quote="IOW323F"]What was the part # in the end.quote] BKR6E-11 is the part number for NGK plugs. Covers both 1.5 and 1.8 engines of the Ba model. Hope this helps? |

Basic Ohm's law says that the starter motor (or anything electrical) will take the current [b]it[/b] wants to. If it takes more than it should, it's knackered anyway. Hope I wasn't too late

Welcome back mate, looks like you had a great time I think what they were getting at is the electrics were running warmer than they should due to the increased current. Like when you have skimpy wires in a circuit and they get hot. I got the right battery anyway as it was only £35. And i do not want to go through what Arty did, espicialy with my two kids. Better to be safe than sorry. Cheers anyway mate
