Kianko Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 this morning tried to go to work in my van but unfortunately would not start so I had to bump it then it was fine as it should, I am now needing to park on a hill as I hace to bump the van. THE PROBLEM when I turn the key it just makes a clicking sound, all the lights on dash work as normal, does anybody have any ideas, could this be a ignition barrel issue as I have had to wiggle the key to start the van for last 6 months sometimes 2-3 attepts as it was just clicking but when wiggled it correct it started any help or any people that could fix woul be great thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muckymurphy Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 worth replacing the starter motor i think to begin with. then either use your spare key or have a new one cut soon. - harrolds at shalesmoor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Starter is probably frozen, but double check it's not a knackered battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kianko Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 would this be a case of a new starter motor ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muckymurphy Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 would this be a case of a new starter motor ? yes. you can pick up a second hand one at a scrap yard but i find that this is more hassle than paying a little more for a new one. i always use neepsend just off rutland road 01142731313 for parts and a small fast and cheap garage behind vaux tyres on carlisle st 0777587697 ..call and get a quote. sometimes you can free up the starter with lots of wd40 but doesnt always work.

soulvapour Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 I have a corsa c 1.2 petrol. The dipstick tube snapped about 4 months ago, I've been driving it without any problems, not lost oil. Now I want to sell it so how do I get the inner tube out without taking sump off? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Does it have an inner tube part? Some cars don't, it's just a plastic sleeve that connects to block protect the dipstick. You might just be able to pull the remnants out with some needle-nose pliers and stick a new dipstick tube on??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi , yes it has an inner part but no lip to grab, I've fried long nose plyers but I'm also scared of pushing it further inside. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 A quick google says you need to take the sump off. If its not worth much, sell it as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy65 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Hi all. I have a fault on said vehicle. When running there is an occasional dip in power which is steadily getting worse. My local garage says it is not showing a fault code. The fault is worse when travelling uphill. Please don't suggest pentagon as I wouldn't touch them with a stick. Please help.
