ok ive just aquired an old VC SL/E that hasnt been used in about 4 years. It has been outside all this time and ive just gotten it home.
I put a good battery into it and the gauges light up, the wipers work, the little water squirters work, lights work, highbeams work, indicators work, voltmeter works, LPG tank primes and the petrol clicks in, aircon works...
But when i turn the key nothing happens, the voltmeter moves a little but nothing. also i have noticed that in the steerting column where the peice of metal moves when you turn the key there are small sparks. which gets me nervous.
I have just taken out the starter motor and cleaned it all up and but it back into the car and still nothing (i swear i heard the solanoid make a click noise though). And now all of a sudden when i turned on the highbeams all electrics stop working until i turn off the highbeams.
Specs of the car so u know wats in it:
308 Black motor with electric dizzy (instead of the blue)
4 speed chevy trans with B&M shift
LPG Crow cam
LPG installed
Bored to a 312 - 5.1 litre.
any one know whats wrong?
