hope everyones soaking up the xmas spirit! i have a slight problem
Pops has decided that she doesnt want to start after being sat for more than 4 hours :/ becoming quite annoying! i've changed the starter motor, as i was unsure whether the original on the car was abit of a dud and dragging the volts down, and also i've changed the battery, and in the mornings, still no good, it could purely just be the cold and her suffering from it, this is my first winter with this car, aparently the original owners used to talk to her in portugese wierdos 
when she wouldnt start and aparently she then started... only portugese i know is that man u player.. she was fine all spring/summer/autumn... second the temp drops below freezing, shes doesnt want to know... i've checked all the obvious charging/points/fuel, although havent put any new leads on her, so i may do that before work tomorrow if i can! i've bought one of them shoddy halfords jump pack things which you leave charged up and then stick it on the car and its meant to start perfectly... guess what... it only works when shes been sat for about 4 or 5 hours... over night its useless... but its almost like somethings draining the battery over night and i cant find anything that would be! cranking is slow, and dad thinks shes not firing, the oil isnt too old and its that posh magnatec stuff which i didnt think would go all stodgy when cold but maybe it is and the viscosity of the oil when cold is dragging the cranking down, yet i cranked her over by hand the other day and she fired and started but only ran for a few seconds before cutting out and after that didnt seem to start up again!i've been through all the obvious bits but cant really find out whats causing the lack of starting, dads ended up tow starting me for the past few days now!
