with the aid of a spare starter motor in the shed i swapped the solenoids over and woohoo! it worked again! managed to get a couple of hours out in it and also it seems my bodge on the fuel tank is working well as thats no longer leaking!

Why is it that 2 second bodges seem to last a lifetime and replacements last 2 weeks??


john_p_b - 24/9/05 at 05:30 PM

i believe it has something to do with the law of the sod?

What do you expect when you painted it GREEN!!!!!!!!!!
Unlucky colour!!!!!!!!!!!
I've only had two green cars in 24 years of driving,never again!
PS.I love B.R.G. as a colour and I'm not generally superstitious but no more green cars for me.

funny you should say that dean, my uncle said exactly the same thing about green cars when he first saw it!!

over 10 years since my last accident in a car, and I've had 2 people drive into my green omega in the past year.

My Green ZX7R also seemed to be invisible!
