Posted for a friend - 1.1 (actually it might be a 1.0 heh) 106.
"Well lets give you complete rundow of what happens:-
I turn the key I hear the fuel pump initialize If ive been driving a while it will turn over really fast, if i havnt, it with turn over slowly.
Now at this point it might start fine, after 3 or 4 turns. Normally it goes on like this :-
Stop trying to start it, give it a second And then it starts
Or if im REALLY unlucky. Ill be sat there for 5 mins while i keep trying over and over again. After the 7th time, ill stop for a min, and then try again, and again sometimes it starts.
I used to be able to get it to start if i shook the car from side to side.
*strange i know, But it worked*. As if it had a loose connection, or a bad earth. *i dont know what im looking for with a bad earth*
If you have any suggestions then by all means =)"
Allegedly it's had a new battery.
