Aamir Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Hi all, So recently I purchased a 5E Forged Glanza and I'm having some problems getting it started. The starter motor is clicking when I turn the key but it wont start. So far I've changed the starter motor but I can't think of anything else to change as a new starter motor made no difference. Any help would be much appreciated Aamir Quote
fremyjay Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Where the hell do you get your money!!! Does it not turn over?? Could be a bad earth somewhere or the flywheel catching something, was it brought like this? Quote
Aamir Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Where the hell do you get your money!!! Does it not turn over?? Could be a bad earth somewhere or the flywheel catching something, was it brought like this? Nope it doesn't turn over bud and hard work pays of haha! Yeah I purchased it knowing that it wouldn't start just trying to find the problem now. Does anyone know if the 5E Starter motor is different to the 4E? Flat Battery? I've put a brand new starter motor battery on it so it can't be that Aamir Edited September 22, 2014 by Aamir Quote
MARC MOSS Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 That's what I thought matt, that or it's ceased solid... Have you tried to bump start it? Quote
fremyjay Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 starter motor wouldnt make a difference to the battery bud, do you mean alternator? Didnt idrees have a problem like this and was flywheel Quote
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Whats voltage in car ? Do u have spark, do u have fuel ? Quote
Aamir Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 That's what I thought matt, that or it's ceased solid... Have you tried to bump start it? Nope I haven't but ill give that a go now bud! Sounds like engine earths Ill try that now too, cheers starter motor wouldnt make a difference to the battery bud, do you mean alternator? Didnt idrees have a problem like this and was flywheel Yeah but the thing is the engines been running before but its no longer running which is weird that's all. Idrees is at work so I can't even ask him ffs. Ill try earth it up and see how I get on! Thank you everyone Aamir Quote
Aamir Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 Whats voltage in car ? Do u have spark, do u have fuel ? Ill check the Voltage and Spark now. I have fuel Aamir Quote
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Well there u go.you havent got a spark so its that u have to figure out why.voltage should be over 12v hopefully 13 Running should be 14.4 Quote
fremyjay Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Im sure he said it does not turn over and only clicks so a spark and fuel wouldn't be the issue at present, it needs to turn over first so its got to be earth?? Quote
_shaun_ Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Sounds like immobiliser fault to me Quote
Bean Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 So thats where that crashed glanza went. I thought it was an alarm problem but its strange the starter is clicking. Quote
daniel_g Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Timing bang on ?Ad be tempted to tow the bastard see if it starts then.Has it got an aftermarket alarm on it ? Quote
Bean Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 its got some viper alarm on it i think with a little screen on the fob. the car cant be towed due to the crash damage. Quote
Aamir Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 its got some viper alarm on it i think with a little screen on the fob. the car cant be towed due to the crash damage.The wishbone was bent, I've changed it and it's now bang on The previous owner put a new track rod end and tie rod end so it rolls around now. And yeah your correct it's got that alarm on it. I'm going to try turn it over tomorrow and see if that helps. If it's the immobiliser I'll rip that out tomorrow and see if I have any luck Thanks Aamir Quote
Bean Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I had it up on a lift and im sure it had pushed the wishbone back and bent the chassis.The car had a fair impact low down so much so that it smashed the towing eye off. Quote

Hmm. Also if the chassis was bent the new wishbone wouldn't have gone on. But it did, I compared the old wishbone with the new one and I found that the wishbone was bent near the ball joint not near the chassis Aamir Quote
Bean Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 It also looked like the chassis leg was damaged but that could have been from a lift in the past. If it was the case of just putting a new wish bone on it I would have had the car my self. Imho the car is a breaker and I wouldn't put it on the road. Quote

I put a new wishbone on it and its 100% and I guess that's just your opinion but I don't agree. I'd break it but the shells mint so I don't see the point in stripping it? Aamir Quote
Aamir Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 Also if anyone is interested in the shell and they think the chassis is bent in some way. Ill happily push the car into my unit and put it on the ramp so you can expect it yourself Aamir Quote
