huge headache!!!!
hi guys new to rex ownership and its starting to hurt , always loved these cars and wen a friend knew of one cheap, well thats where it started.
the problem is this car had a small bump on the front which a can easy repair, the car had been running since but now all it does on the turn of the key is crank, theres no spark and the fuel pump isnt engaging(unless provided with a permanent live) from what ive been told it might of triggered a inertia switch of sort, some kind of cut off for the spark and pump to prevent anything serious occuring during a major accident,i was told it might be as simple as resetting a switch, would anyone know how and where if possible, also the clocks dont work or light up, now a know why cheap cars are cheap lol.
hopefully one of you guys can help and restore my love with these cars, ave included the chassis number if it helps and any other info about the car would be helpfull

All fuses look ok, but a wondered with the clocks being off there may be some connection av heard of stranger things but thought it might be something to do with the harness to the clocks, a few guys told me there was some sort of switch located in the passenger footwell, but av seen a few pics of rex engine bays and some parts on mine seem to be on the opposite side, ie the brake cylinder and lines, any ideas why?

this sound like something that happend to me, the engine would turn but not start and the rest of the car was dead. i found a loose nut that holds one wire(black), that kills the car if it is lose. it is in the fuse box under the hood on the left side of the car between the battery and the shock tower. i dont know how it came loose but after i tighted it down, my car started up. hope this helps, good luck.
