I'm not sure Tom!!

She started!! Sean from Metropower pretty walked over, whacked a lead off the starter and started it manually on the starter and fired up perfect. It's a lead that comes from the gearbox to the starter which is knackered. No biggy. Cheers Sean!!

Wiring and connectors... something that Rover never got to do right.. :teehee:

I'm glad it runs again Craig ! ;D

Ohw and towing an automatic CAN be done, just at a low speed and a short distance, with the transmission in Neutral, so when you have no choice, just tow it careful and slow to a safer place, done that several times without any probs..

Still, you need to make a list of modifications and projects to do on the Metro, so you can scratch those from your list when finished, while we cn follow what still to do :teehee:)

If you'd read the first few pages you'd know what a metro spoiler is... more a peice of trim than aero device.

Yep ;D Need to get my brakes on, fit my airbag wheel, get the rear 'trim'... fitted among a few other jobs. Brakes are main priority.
