mase9882002 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Haven't driven the 350 for a couple of days. Went out at the weekend for a trip around 90 miles and back, parked back at home with about 10 miles on the counter. Left it till today, jumped in the car, turned the key, all lights and remote alarm fine, wipers working, radio coming on, however the car won't start. Went the garage and picked up 2 5ltr cans of fuel put them in, left it half an hour and it still won't start. Ticking over, all electrics fine, it just won't start. Any ideas????

mase9882002 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Doggyrev - All lights and bits on, when I turn the key after electrics its a constant "Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick ,tick" wearing noise really fast. From what I've read it could be petrol pump and needs bleeding - anyone an idea on how to do this or cost to get it done? Cheers guys!

mase9882002 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Battery dial reading up at 12v when turned on, on its own, after turning more to click over, reading around 6-8. Thinking fuel pump myself but not heard about this much on Z's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Sounds like the battery to me. I used to get the exact same symptoms when I had a dodgy battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
