Rabbithunter 456 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Me mate drive threw a big puddle in his 2.0td mondeo. When he parked up at hus mates (10min drive) it wouldnt start Ign lights came on, headlights, blowers, wipers all worked, when he went to fire it it was just 'clicking' We tried a booster pack, bump start, but nothing happened. Any ideas what could be wrong The motor is a 54plate Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
