| Fooking pile of shite this metro! Fitted an extra earth yesterday morning and made sure the rest were clean and tidy. Hasn't made a difference. Went out this evening, started first thing. Drove 2 minutes down the road, banged some petrol in, fooker wouldn't start. Had to get it going on jump leads. Drove it 20 miles or so then just started cutting out with no warnings etc, just lose all power. Dark country lanes which were busy wasn't fun. Got to where I wanted to go, but on the way back, even worst. Cutting out, no ignition lights etc, even wiggling the gearstick wasn't doing anything. After a lot of shouting and swearing it would go again then just die. Popped the bonnet, checked everything and noticed I've got two white n black wires running from the side of the radiator to the coil of all things! WFT?! So looked at the coil and pulled the wires off. The black wire with the round thing on the front panel wasn't connected so left it there as it was, but since pulling the wire off, I've got no rev counter working. BUT it doesn't cut out. Any ideas wtf is going on? Can get pictures of these wires tomorrow, but it drove home 140 miles spot on with no problems |
