few days ago my car cant start...had the tak tak tak sound, usually its the battery at fault,
so bought new batt & hoping can start as usual...it did....but the next morning same thing. next day
went to bought starter (recond), got it fixed & it started like normal.
then when reach home tried to start again the problem occured.....so brought back to mechanic
tested here & there, then finally told me that my grounding was not enuf....so i went to search for an earth cable at my usual spare part shop, he does not have it, he told me to get it from accs shop, surveyed & it costs rm180 for hks purple color, damn bloody expensive.
later on went to my previous supplier that was nearby my hse as he previously sold it for rm9 only. but found out he already closed down.
i gave up & returned to my workshop & told my mech to just make his own grounding cable, he did it & the car started like normal again.
costs incurred.
new ns40 batt RM90
recond starter RM90
workmanship to replace starter RM60.
DIY grounding cable FREE..
i was wondering, could it be just the grounding cable at fault in the beginning? if could have saved rm240.hmmm...
