Poxy car didn't want to start again when I got in it this evening, so given that it's been fine all the way the weather was OK and now the wind and rain has started, what things shall I check on? :pinch: Poxy motor!! Hahaha! I wouldn't mind, but it's on a 60 plate!!!

Today I got in it and it cranked and cranked so I turned it right back off, then I turned it over again and it cranked and cranked and only fired up when I gave it some gusto. Then it was all lumpy until I cleared it through with the throttle.

You've had a fair bit of trouble with this truck haven't you?

Does it smell of petrol like its flooding? Or is it like its immobilised?
First port of call would be the battery though, even if its quite new it could have a weak or dead cell. This would tally with the cold weather.

The lumpy running could just be that its got a bit flooded while you've been turning it over.

I've still got Suzuki warranty but frankly they are competly useless so I intend to find the solution myself.. I like the truck so it's worth it to me!

If I try it on my driveway and it fails you can smell a fair bit of fumes. As the car's due it's first service this week I'll ask all the bits to do with starting to be checked. I'm having new plugs so that'll be ruled out and I'll get the battery checked. Might even get me a booster just in case.

Grrr :(
