[gto3r]

can any one please help, have not started car (gto3r 3.0l)for few weeks ,battery flat ,it is re charged now,when pressing starter button clicks but will not fire up. have also tried jump leads,did not work.does not seem to be power to starter motor .hope someone can help

If you leave it on charge for a couple of hours you should be OK. And jump leads providing you've made a decent connection should work straight away.

I'd recommend asking Santa for a battery conditioner for Christmas!

thaks actech
but battery is fully charged i have a conditioner.by going direct to starter motor it starts,there seems to be no power from relay switches above battery to starter motor .ps car is only 6 months old

Sure you haven't blown / dislodged the fuses?

The car won't start if the 15A third from the left fuse that is next to the main 60A one is loose / blown (it's the set of fuses that are on the rear bulkhead).

I had the same and found it was just a dodgy fuse that if I "pressed in" it would then fire up. I eventually replaced it and everything was fine.

My recommendation to the factory would be for them to hire, or at least thank Justin(Joust) straight away! For he surely saves them an abundance of time/money in fixing little niggles with these fabulous machines. With him being one of the early owners and being sharp enough to put things together, we here at PistonHeads are quite fortunate to have him advise us, let alone do it for free!

Justin’s knowledge of the car never ceases to amaze me - a real asset to this forum.

Hey - no problems :blush:

We need a FAQ for these things & Torque settings etc.

Well volunteered!

I second that Dan

[m12_nathan]

I asked what info on torque settings etc people wanted me to find out from the factory on the mail list and no one replied.

I'd be happy to start to compile a list if it'd be of use.

[Ash GTO 3R]

yes please
