Starter motor headache

So here I am on a grim Monday morning stuck in a minging layby, bonnet up and a dead starter.
It's my own fault. I knew it was getting harder and harder to start, but put off refurbing the starter or checking the battery.
Even the reason I stopped is crap, I just wanted to adjust my mirror and should left the engine on but turned it off.
Anyway wife on the way in her Tourneo so hopefully it'll jump start with the extra beans from her battery.
 

being rescued by a ford and the wife, that humbling and sucks ... hopefully battery or wiring issue as quick fix .

While i was waiting I used a jump lead to earth the engine but it made no difference.

Wife came and it started instantly. Humiliating isn't the word for it, I'd rather be caught wanking over gay porn while wearing ladies underwear

So, looks like i need a battery, £££

If you've still got the original tiny Japanese battery with the smaller posts its definitely worthwhile upgrading to larger posts and huge UK battery. The larger terminals are pretty cheap and the choice of batteries is enormous!

As penance of being rescued by a Ford however, the battery must be replaced while wearing either a mankini or a thong (ladies choice!)

ladies undies

Euros with weekend discount codes normally quite reasonable

lol
Primera battery trays bolt directly to R inner wing so easy swap to bigger spec oem battery tray if can find one in a pull apart yard ...

That's a top tip Mr B and well deserved rep point, I'll be on the look out for one.

have a look at almera or domestic sunny too as likely same same .
I picked up the primera as shape/mounting looked same and was expecting graft 2 together but quite amazed see it bolt straight in and position battery perfectly good too .

UK sunny battery tray bolts straight in, that's what I've got in mine!

At the time of upgrading mine I never knew about the primera tray so mine has a galaxy tray as got cheap lol

Defs refreshing the starter while my engine is out. Sucks being stranded when they go.

Isnt that the normal way everyone watches porn?

My mates wife was having a night out with her mates so he dusted off his copy of Anal Pandamonium 3, lied back on the settee and was building up to the money shot.
He didn't realise that she decided to come back early with her mates and they all caught him in the middle of punching one out! Haha

ha ha ha, tragic!

He is probably sleeping with her and them now. Anyone reading this it’s gone from starter motor to women’s underwear gay porn and now tossers lol

At least we don't pretend its better than it is like Evo and Scoob owners.

But yeah try and explain a GTiR to a normal human and they don't get it
