Starters can't be adjusted, but there are many things that can effect how well the engine fires up, The starter should (broadly speaking) get the engine to about 350rpm cranking speed, at the same time the battery voltage should not drop below 10volts (assuming you started with a well charged battery).

Sorry if it's a daft question, but the opening rear windows.... Is that a special custom kit or is it taken straight from the arsoa

Be wise to have a good look at your engine mounts and engine stabiliser bar, as if these are worn there will be excessive movement and your exhaust will knock and bang all over the place

My project lupo is a W reg 1.4s. Buying some coil overs to lower it and want to get some nice wheels on it but I don't want to loose any steering lock and don't want to make wheel arch adjustments... So... Anyone know what the wheel size is best

Hi all, Just bought a project lupo. Needs a new gearbox as this ones only got 3rd gear?. Wondering if there's any recommended alternative boxes to use before I start looking about. Mike

Tom. There's lots of possible causes, if you've got a volt meter connect it from battery negitive to the thin wire on the starter motor solenoid . (There will be two connections going to the starter solenoid one direct from batt positive the other from ignition switch) you want to see if to register 12v or battery voltage with key turned to the crank position. If you haven't a volt meter get a 12v bulb and some wire. If you get 12v then check the other wire from the battery to starter, check earth strap before condemning the starter. These wires are larger core and a wiggle check is sometimes all that's needed to find a loose connection. If you don't see 12v be careful but try turning the key to crank position and at the same time gently 'rock' the key in the lock up and down or side to side, I've had many times a burn contact in the ignition switch that can be identified by doing this. But be careful it's small movements don't break the key. Good luck
