The starter has been removed, tested weak, replaced with a brand new one. It is definitely more willing but the motor still won't turn over.
I have come to the conclusion that it is locked seized in some way. No matter what we try, we cannot get the motor to move at all.
So I will now proceed to strip it down until I know what the problem is.
First thing will be to pull the rear bank of plugs and have a look into those cylinders.
If all appears good then remove the intake system and see if anything is obvious, then I will drop the sump and see if I can see anything in the bottom end......
Who knows.......
Frustrating thing is that it drove into the driveway will no issue and the next morning it was stuffed.
The thing only cost me $500 so it will be hard to justify throwing loads of cash at it now.
It was supposed to be a cheap runabout, not a long term project.
Don't ever let me be involved in buying a car for you...... anyone......
