Cars

[d34noj]

No mate go for it , great lil cars the Civics , not much power but crackin chasis and fun , spend £5k to add a blower/charger and at 300bhp they really come alive (although the vtec plays hell up with a turbo set-up)

think 200 odd bhp is fine for me these days mate - looking at building a track day car up with a mate (but keeping it road legal) so that'd do for playing around

Its a nice dollop of mid range torque that I like (that comes with a tubby) , dont like having to rev the tits off it to get anywhere fast, but if ya goin to shed all the weight ya can then should still be fun

Ford Consul Capri

Quite apt, the original "Z Cars" - Ford Zephyr and Zodiac

I want this really quite badly, even more than a Sierra Cosworth.

Car won't start this morning. Think it's a dead battery.

Is that easy to fix? I've got Green Flag coming out to sort it.

I know nothing about cars insides though !

I was gonna mention jumping it, but if he knows nothing about cars I don't want to be responsible for him lighting himself on fire.

Put your tongue on the battery terminals ijjy.... This will give you some indication to how flat the battery is mate.

Only Kopites use green flag..
It sounds like the battery though mate.. I bet you have the air con, fans, white iPhone charger, radio.. All on the go from initial start up don't you ??

Don't forget the prostate massager as well mate.

Battery may still be fine.
Our old MG's battery(due the lack of use)always requires a little helping hand, hence we use a universal 12-24V booster pack.

Turn the key so the electrics are on, Put it in 2nd gear, roll it down a hill, or get someone to push you (with you in it), wait until you've built up a bit of momentum and lift up the clutch and rev it a bit. Alternate between the two pedals if it doesn't work straight away.

I used to have to do this at least once a week in my old Fiesta, I got quite good at it in the end.

 

[Phenom]

Christ ijjy you that bad with cars?

If you have a hill close by bump it first, if your battery is just dead it will start and charge as your on the run. If not you will need a set of jump leads to jump it off another car.
