Remote starter q's

[Justin & Muttley]

I was trying to start the van today (on my own) and was frustrated that I couldn't check the engine while the starter was cranking - I think I'll get a remote starter...

Anyone used one? How do you wire it up etc...

I have something similar, it has to be attached to the starter motor & i ain't ever gonna be that slim to fit it without jacking the bus in the air
so its on the bench with all the other gadgets & gizmoes :roll:

If I'd realised that in order to use one I'd have to be a) Slim, or b) A contortionist, I wouldn't have bothered!! :lol: :lol:

I borrowed something along the same lines from a mate when i was having engine issues.
It was basically a large switch that connects to either side of the starter solenoid.
With the ignition turned to the auxilary position you can then start the engine while you have your head in the engine bay. Saved me alot of hassle from constantly having to get the wife to start the van.
