Previoulsy, before rmeoving loads stuff to look for leak, I could start car and it would turn off after around 2 seconds.


Built car back up, and now when i turn to start it I get no noise, no turning over. Nothing whatsoever.

Battery I just left to charge for 2 hours, I had all normal lighst working inside the car. But its making no effort to even turnover, what have I not put on?

That's sounds about right mate. I had to even add a earth on mine for it to even want to turn over. Done mine from battery to gearbox. But you may not have to once they are all connected... But if it still don't work try adding another, but it should be fine
