iveco

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

If it starts with a jump but not by itself it could still be a weak battery, put your meter across the battery and see what the voltage drops to when you try and crank it.
I would also check the engine earth, bung a jump lead between the block and battery negative terminal, see if that makes it turn over on the key, after that I would use another jump lead between the battery positive and the solenoid and have another go. if that doesn't work then (this will make a very large spark) bypass the solenoid with a jump lead and see if it turns over then.
