hey all,
the other day i was reversing and parking my old 180B the oil was fine and everything (its a auto) and the car just stopped i tried to start it again and it wouldnt even turn over, it just clicked. I have got the startor motor checked and it was fine.
Any Suggestions?

allternator?
battery?
try jump starting it if it starts then its something electrical
it could even be your coil/ballast resistor?

my car did the same thing i had new starter motor, alternator, battery and it wouldnt start even bump starting it (manual) i was like wtf?
it was an $2 ballast resistor (the thing on top of the coil) get a wire and connect it to the + / - bits on top and try it
*this may shock you*   
my old man said he bridged the wire on the ballast resistor and it started.
might as well try ay?
then a week later my coil died

Grab a spanner, see if you can turn the engine over - I had the exact same issue with a 180b a few years ago, SOMEHOW a piece of pipe got in and jammed the flywheel to the bellhousing, siezed things solid. Pulled the engine out, removed piece of crap, and it ran fine again.

my mum killed an old 180B by keeping the oil & petrol up to it but neglected to monitor water levels (gauges were all stuffed).
that seemed to have a deliterious effect on the engines ability to cool itself, and rotate the crankshaft....
