What on EARTH
Had a couple of jobs to do on the Impreza today and thought we'd combine them:
However when we took off the intercooler to get some decent access, low and behold, the main black & yellow earth / ground lead from the battery was just sitting on top of the engine, not bolted to anything
Now the car has always been a little slow to start up and my interior lights and dash were quite dull but I assumed this was cos its a 10 year old car!
But, hey presto, with the negative cable properly connected, everything is brighter
The starter motor didnt look is it if had been replaced recently and I cant see why the cable would have been undone (and not reattached) - any guesses fellas?
Anyway - a productive day
- Replace and bleed clutch fluid
- Perform the coolant bypass mod on the throttle body
