After getting the oil out of the cylinders, cleaning the intake etc, click the inertia switch and she started right up... Problems are ... no radio, no digital clock, no center console lights, srs light is on, heater smells like antifreeze, and all fuses seem fine?? ..strange but true!! any ideas???   justin monnin (Ineedthissale) Member Username: Ineedthissale Post Number: 71 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2004 - 05:25 pm:    look for a wire off of the battery. just a guess.   Ed Petrush (Exp) Member Username: Exp Post Number: 102 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2004 - 07:21 pm:    bad ground under dash or fuse there.. you'll need to pull the radio & trace the +/- for each component. SRS is a common problem if you tryed to start with a weak battery, dealer or Rover Mechanic with testbook can reset it in 15 seconds.. since it was sideways for a while at least, it makes sense that some antifreeze leaked out and go into the heater passages... not sure how to resolve this.. just make sure you don't have a coolant leak.   Dave Statler (Falconx84) Member Username: Falconx84 Post Number: 66 Registered: 02-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2004 - 03:09 am:    Perhaps flush the coolant? Check heater element/coil? Just a WAG (wild ass guess) -- no familiar with those systems   Phil (Discoanywhere) Member Username: Discoanywhere Post Number: 172 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2004 - 08:15 am:    Thanks for all the tips... I've flushed the rad and it seemed to be a littl foamy or oily?? No idea how the rad fluid got contaminated? Unless its a gel of some sort? I'm searching and checking connections...
