Car wont start - recommend a mechanic/garage

Post by Grim »

Team,

Have had a GT Turbo for 10+ years and never had a real issue but has been left probably a little longer than it should be this time round and now won't start. Had a mechanic have a look - change sparks, fuel injector etc but just cranking and not firing.

Any recommendations who to get this to anywhere in south west London (Wimbledon/Sutton) - just want to get this fixed and back on the road.

Much appreciated.

Did your mechanic check for a spark at the plugs? Or coil?

A bad coil or poor ground at the igniter can cause a bad spark issue.

Second this remove coil & igniter pack from car check for rusty
Bracket as that is the earth for them and cracking on
Black plastic case can cause massive problems but it's a easy fix
Too weird to live, to rare to die
