alrite people ive come in from outside with very big scrath marks on my skull from me picking my head:confused:
ive put a new gearbox in my car its a nova gte i go to turn the key it clicks asif the battery isflat i then put jump leads on the car and try again nothing happens at all i turn the key all the way expecting the starter motor to spin round but all that flys round is the oil pressure guage goes all the way round and the full beam light comes on with the lights on if i hold the key all the way round,
all the connections have been checked over twice all look ok to me, i have broke the reverse conector that goes on the box so that doesnt work could it be anything to do with it?
help and advice would be much appreciated
