[QUOTE="gvee, post: 461809, member: 14750"] [size=5]Two Steps Forward, One Step Back[/size] I went straight from work to the van again this evening with the aim of re-timing it after the test drive on Sunday. Hopped in, turned the key... Nothing. Zip. Nada. Diddly-squat... :cry: Battery seems right. Have lights with no dimming whatsoever. All fuses seem fine. Currently surmising that it's the starter motor or its solenoid as there's not a peep coming from there. Only just put the van back on the deck as well! Couldn't exactly lie underneath it so I got an old broom handle and a wooden mallet and gave the starter motor a few thumps. Still nothing. Gutted. Might have to wait until daylight hours on Saturday before doing any more. Really have to get it running well before the end of next week because it's got an appointment with an old school tuner to get the carbs nailed and that's not exactly a short drive away! [/QUOTE]
