So today I removed the drivers side battery and tray so I could get better access to the nut to tighten the steering box. While I was spannering about, I accidently bridged the positive terminal to the body, and it made a small spark, nothing major.
Then refitted everything and connected the battery. Didn't spark at all when I re-connected the battery, but when I went to start the engine it sparked from the terminal (negative) and the starter only turned a bit.
Shocked and pissed off, I disconnected the battery and tried to start it again. There was a sort of buzz noise from the near side and the speedo dial moved to like 50mph.
I then came home and sulked
Any ideas on whats buggered? Isnt there a dodgy earth that's common for going?
Thanks
