I,ve been trying to start my mini cooper 1991 after its been sat for a couple of years.
hooked a battery up, got no ignition lights and nothing on the turn of the key, but radio works as do the hazards and lights.
cleaned all the fuses and connections on bulkhead fuse box, cleaned terminals on starter motor and alternator, still nothing.
Firstly why no dash lights, ? secondly any ideas why it wont spin over, the engine turns freely by hand.
Can i hook up jump leads directly to starter if so how?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
