    Default vt starting probs video



    ok been trying to work out what's wrong with my vt i have posted a video cos it's hard to describe, but it struggles to kick over and is embarrassing when you visit people. I have posted in another thread where

    1. I was told it was the ignition ring thing the key touches to turn off the immobiliser.....fixed that problem was still there

    2. Fuel pump was stuffed.......put in a new feul pump and filter and problem was still there

    3. battery was stuffed......put in a new battery and problem is still there

    Also in the video you will hear a loud rattle when the car has finally started, this rattle came with the new engine i had put in a couple of months ago, i was told it was the balance shaft but its driving me crazy...i have people come up to me in car parks and servo's telling me i had better check the oil cos the car rattles that much!!!

    My starting problem is VERY similar, struggles to kick over but doesn't struggle for that long usually. And don't think mine sounds that bad. Also I don't have the rattling problem obviously.

    Ive replaced battery and problem still remains also, been told to take to an auto-elec and check leads etc. Havent got round to that yet.
