thats wot i was thinking as the spark didn't look that strong but the battery was starting to get low by this point.

anyway in the end i put jump leads on to it from the van and the original plugs in and eventually it went. i think the cold had a lot to do with as carbs were set when it was hot and i've found a few batterys that seem to give less effort in the cold ( bit like me then).
cheers guy's.

There's a new easy start available from New Zealand-called-wait for it

"Start Ya B.a.s.t.a.r.d"

So titled because the makers reckon they are the 3 most uttered words when a vehicle won't start.:lol:

Tom, you better get out now and see if you can catch some of the late brigade.:eek: The rest of us are now looking forward to next week. :D
Maybe you should leave it idling outside the house so you don't have to worry if it will start or not next sunday:lol: :lol:

Can I just suggest that you buy a new set of plugs ?

Only its all I have to do to the 3 583's in this household when they decide not to play ball - cleaning seems to make no difference - new ones do!

Just my expereince like.
