Hi all.This is my first post so hi to you all.Hope my explanation is clear?. So my son has a Rover 75 1800 petrol on a 2003 plate. Wednesday morning it wouldnt start, so advise by a friend he put new starter and battery on,still no start. He told me about this on saturday afternoon, i then went and had a look. Here is what i found ignition on all dash lights as should be,batery voltage checked at 12.60 v, turn key to start and nothing no cranking. Ithen checked voltage to starter there was none. I then put + wire direct to starter,started up immediately ran for bout 2 seconds cut out. I did this few mor times and same thing run 2 seconds cuts out.still no start from key.Any ideas anybody ?
Thanks in advance
