Apparently if the start cap is bad, I should be able to 'roll start' it and it should keep going. I can't/it doesn't. Mine will turn over and seem like it's going to run, then pop the fuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 RS have most caps. Pretty fast delivery too. Make sure to get one with 400v or higher rating for the run cap to make it last 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I bought a cap for a drill press i bought off @Metalhead96. 5he motor would start with push but that was it. The cap didnt fix it. I think it's still in the garage. If it is you can have it for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 What to look at on 2012 swift? Is auto, 130k. Worth paying 3k more for a 2015 with 80k? They look identical to me tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Neighbour girl It's between these 2 swifts and a bright red drop top bmw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Obviously the beemer, lol. But seriously the slightly older Swift could be the go. Can't see the logic in paying $3k more for what is effectively the same car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I don't think you understand how mileage works. Cars that are driven wear down over time. One that has done more miles is likely to be more worn. Thus, one with less wear is worth more money in general. As for picking between, how much is 3k in relation to car cost? I'm assuming they aren't costing much so 3k could be a bit steep. That said, service history if any would sway me given the choice. I'd also be checking if the 2015 got any cool features the 2012 didn't etc. I paid more for a facelift model (not swift) as the changes made, made it a worthwhile extra expense.

tortron Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Yea I tried a new one 2019ish with lots of whustles but I don't think either have those (not listed) Older one is about 6k and newer one is about 9k. It does look a little better in the pics but there's not much in it. Older one did have service history apparently. Wants me to come look this weekend. I don't think there's anything really that would be alarm bells (like vw dsg spec) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Check the transmission has been regularly serviced, i seem to see a few people on Facebook popping up with failed autos on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Typical worn out auto failure? Like flaring between gears and so on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the exact model, and im not an expert because eww autos, but i believe NZDM cars are normals autos and the JDM imports are CVT. The CVT are reputed to be terribly unreliable, but i dont know what the failure mode is other than it requires a replacement or rebuild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I think you'll find the engine has in fact travelled just as far as the rest of the car. Unless it has been replaced. As for the traffic comment, bit pointless since we don't know either cars driving habits over it's life. A service history at least lets you know how well it's been maintained. I wasn't referring to specifically engine wear, but car wear in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't referring to specifically engine wear, but car wear in general. Engine hours make a big difference, as does transmission wear in start stop traffic. I wish ODB2 had an engine running timer, i'd love to see how many hours some of the low KM imports actually have. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
