hey guys, woke up this morning, turned the ignition on, fuel pump was buzzed up like normal, i then turned to start it and it just clicked and did nothing. The starter motor had a slight reaction but not long enough. I kept trying but it had no reaction, just clicks over and thats it. Then for some reason the alarm would go off if i tried anymore than 3 times. What the hells going on? Could the starter motor be dead? Any light on this would be great.

Cheers,

Steve.

battery is on its way out. most alarms i know have a feature that if the battery is disconnected then reconnected the alarm will go off. when your cranking the car over with a stuffed battery your sucking all the juice from the battery to the stater, so the alarm module looses power for a sec causing it to go off.

not sure what the dash lights doing, ill have to have a look when i get back from work, but the power turns off when i try, like the stereo, gauges, computers etc. So u think the best case is try another battery?

computers?

AFAIK the stereos will always turn off for second, but if the dash lights go off, then you havent got enough power .. battery or jump start time

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!

      I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.

      It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it

      More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
