first thing to do is to find out why its gone flat

is the battery bolloxed

is it not charging (i had this prob as the alternator earth cable had snapped)

[Philsutton]

yeah just bump start it an run it, then it will be fine if it is just that the battery is flat that is.

[deankenny]

im an idiot i left da cd player on well off but the clock was on on it with the lights so thats gotta be it, ivve only got a small run up lol but ill try, if i do get it started do i jus leave it running with the lights off or drive it ?

I have a Auto start put in on battery and it acts like a Jump start Wel worth ?20

[deankenny]

wont bump and with battery starter it justs trys to start but wont go, hmmm strange

[raza]

U either flooded Car Trying Or out of petrol!! Or fuel pump could of gone orrr ,.. :idea: :idea:

[deankenny]

flooded looks like the one ive done, what shall i do if thats the case?

[Nick]

well, take spark plugs out and use a small blowtorch (and i mean small) to burn off the petrol that they ahve been sitting in LMAO

you get a kit, most garages use one. But a lighter might do, the problem is that you can't really go putting soot onto the plugs, as it isn't good.

then your gonna have to turn the engine over untill it starts, it should help. but then again, your not going to beable to do that with a flat battery.

[deankenny]

too complicated time to get a m8 lol

[Nick]

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

[raza]

Take out the plugs :S is hard? take them out see if there is petrol on them if so heat them a little bit stick them back in whalla jobs a gud un

[deankenny]

sorry but im thick when it comes to cars but where is the spark plugs hehe

[Nick]

you probably havn't flooded it then. because that's what you think you've done.
