Hi all,
My 1,7 has been in the garage for most of the winter bt I kept the battery topped up with a trickle charger.
I went to start it yesterday but although it turned over it wouldn't start.
I checked the fuses & fuel cut off switch but all seemed Ok.
Tried to check the spark plugs but could get the engine cover bolts undone without rounding them off.........so gave up in frustration!!
Anyway tried today & it started.....but there was quite a loud droning nose from the back of the car.
I tried to open the boot to try to see where it was coming from but had to turn the engine off to get the only key i have.
After that it wouldn't start again.
Do any of you think it might be the fuel pump that's causing the problem?
Any help would be really appreciated before I call in a mobile mechanic.
Cheers,
Mark
