try swapping the battery. if the starter feels weak - its normally a flat battery

it shouldnt be the battery cos everything else works fine. everything is workin exactly the same as before he decided to be a d***head an try start it without the clutch


what happend was a few of us were driving around lastnight and the we pulled up to talk to some mates an then he got in the car an turned it on an sat for a little bit then turned it off then tried to start it without the clutch and thats when it f**k up


we tried leaving it sit for 30minutes incase it was the smartlock an that didnt work so we pushed it up this bloody great hill an rolled down an push started it an then was fine, all up untill he turned it off again an she did the same thing. so then tried a different starter motor, checked fuses and the starter realy

he tried jump starting it just before, terminals are fine (f**k around with them when we were swaping the starter motors), flywheel should be fine because the its been push started twice so i doubt that each time it has stoped in the same spot.

the melting thing could be a problem but..
