Coolant Buzzer wire, if thats broken it is the most anoying noise. That wire does dry out and is quite easy to damage, i sugest you have a good look at the condition its in and maybe replace it further back so it doesn\'t snap in a diffrent place while your out in it and have to put up with that anoying sound.

So is that wire off the top of the powersteering pump the coolant buzzer wire?

Its strange, sometimes it doesn\'t come on and other times it comes straight on.. Ive checked all the fluid levels etc

Boggles my mind and its the most annoying noise ive ever heard haha

Is there any reason my Add coolent buzzer should have come on today when using it?

It didn\'t get warm and stayed at just below 90 on my FC Commander..

I did notice a black single wire from the top of the power steering pump had broken from the plug when i was de-flooding it last night.

Think this could be anything to do with it?

Thanks

Followed the de-flooding guide in the FAQ and it fired up 1st time..

Took it out for a drive and all seems well, just hope its ok in the morning but theres no reason why it shouldnt be fine..

Thanks for the advice guys
Jamie

Thanks guys, ill be unflooding it tomorrow night because thats the earliest i could do it anyway..

If my new plugs dont turn up ill clean the old ones up and put them back in, surley it cant do any damage after a few days?

The engine seems really healthy, doesnt use any water and starts hot or cold fine.

Hopefully all goes well, ill update tomorrow

Cheers

Thanks

Hi,

just after abit of advice. Ive been on the forum a while but never really needed to post anything.

Anyway, ive owned the car a couple of month and never really had any problems with it.. I moved the car last night from cold and used it for less than a minute, i usually avoid doing this but i was in a rush.

Ive come to start the car today and it was struggling, it was attempting to turn over and throwing loads of smoke out etc. I figured that its flooded, it nearly fired up a few times so i got some friends round to give me a push and tried to bump it off in 2nd gear, it still didn\'t start and we also tried to start the car from a tow at about 10mph and it didn\'t start.

Now when im turning then engine over it doesn\'t sound like its even attempting to start?

Do you think getting the plugs out and trying to get the fuel out of the plugs etc will do the trick? Or is it sounding like a more serious problem?

Any advice welcome

Thanks
Jamie
