Re: AE101 FX won't start - electrical

duh, thanks man. I'd not been finding anything online but your post prompted me to use 'Starter relay' specifically which has given me some good hits. I'll report back once I've had a further look.

Thanks again

Howdy

Having an intermittent issue with my FX not starting. When I turn the key the dash lights etc all come on fine, but nothing when I go right over to ignition. Usually it is fine, but sometimes I get this problem.

In the last few days though it's getting worse. It will start fine after I ...

10k will get him a nice stream, make sure he looks for the 2l one, the alternative is a d17a which is just gutless.

2l is K20a which yes is a cam chain.

Not much room with the 6/7 seat up but plenty with it down

CL1 boot is crazy large. Have fit car seat plus tricycle plus pram previously with sub box in there.

Have previously owned a gt-t, currently own richie^s old CL1.

The Honda certainly seems more planted and aggressive than the wagon was, and the interior is really a different class. The ...

We have both the young sport and the profi capsule and are very happy with them.

Also, do you stock the adaptor to fit the profi capsule to a bugaboo stroller?

Go Recaros!

They use the ISOFIX system which seems very very sturdy although we dont have it unfortunately. The build quality and materials, fabrics etc are great and the seats do adjust really well size wise. We currently have the booster (young sport?) which has nice features like when you ...

You probably just shoulda left the motor there, and built around it. Driveshafts, box etc.

Are you skilled with cars?

Do cash jobs on the side, means more money from doing something you enjoy.

Start with oil changes for friends and family, brake pads, maintenance stuff thats easy enough but people pay for, and just go from there.

That way as well you can do as much as you like

Re: Crowded supermarket or being tailgated?

I don't know about anyone else, but I really dislike doing the groceries(paknsave) when its crowded. It seems like the whole place is full of really slow old people(65+) and swarms of seemingly blind children.
I feel like I have achieved something when I leave and I have not gone postal. I seem to ...

1. Walk to Courtenay Place
2. Walk part way down Courtenay place
3. Stop, look to your left.

There you go.

My answer can be more detailed if your question is too, but pretty much the above will sum it up.
