drginger Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Could just be battery. Have you tried jump starting it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsybriggs1 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Check your battery connectors might be lose ? Or could be your starter playing up Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 ^^ What they said for starters. Failing that is it a UK or JDM Zed? Standard Uk alarm system or an aftermarket one as you find on a lot of JDM's? Could be an immobilizer issue maybe?! If it's a UK Zed you are depressing the clutch I assume when your trying to start it then? Silly I know but not unheard of for new owners to forget to do it.

ilogikal1 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If it's a UK Zed you are fully depressing the clutch I assume when your trying to start it then? Silly I know but not unheard of for new owners to forget to do it. Edited because that itself has caught a few people out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne350 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 haven't tried jumping it as i was at work about to drive home yes i have the clutch pressed haha. its a UK 04 plate, and i am hoping its not immobilizer issue. i have just bought a new battery from halfords and going to fit it tomorrow if that doesn't fix it i have been told to check the clutch switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akewt Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I had a similar issue when my fan-belt had disintegrated but if you have bought a new battery that would exclude that issue. interested to hear what the result is though dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne350 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 so i fitted the £80 battery this morning still the same so thats going back! haha, then had to pay £100 for breakdown cover and the AA came out and said 99% starter motor.. bump started it and worked so looking a a starter motor now, how much are they usually and are they hard to fit?

Paddy78 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I didn't think you were supposed to bump start the Zed due to the VLSD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
