So car in storage for about two months, battery flat. Charged it up and used another jump start battery to boost. No start. Not even a hint of firing. RACQ guy says he can't detect any spark anywhere. Fuel seems ok, pump runs and you can smell fuel in the exhaust after much cranking. Ran perfectly before. The only thing I can think of that is common to all cylinders, which may have been affected by the flat battery, is the immobiliser. I don't know what brand it is or whether it would allow cranking without spark, but I think it's worth a try. Would I be right in assuming that if I removed all the stuff attached to the positive battery terminal I would effectively isolate the immobiliser? Are there any tricks to this? The immobiliser operates through the lock/unlock button on the remote. Any ideas appreciated. Tardo

Hey guys, Just fitted new RDA rotors and EBC pads to front wheels. Callipers refurbished and cleaned, brakes bled. Now car pulls right noticeably. The brake lights stay on until you hook your toe under brake pedal and pull it out. Anyone have any ideas?

Hey guys, amazing what a bit of investigating can do. Found a corroded and leaking coolant pipe under the intake manifold, which probably explains the white vapour/smoke. The missing under load was caused by a cracked spark plug on number 4 cylinder. I thought a head gasket issue was unlikely cos they're pretty bullet proof on the 32, so glad I didn't rip into it!

Sigh!! I'll do a test first.

White smoke or vapour, not thick!

Missing under load, white smoke, stops missing when warmer, still residual smoke! This started about 100klms after a dynotune. I don't really want to fork out another $1200 until I have a rough idea what the problem may be. Any ideas? Car has a Haltech Platinum Pro ECU and a single Garrett 3076R turbo. Tardo
