Question 1

Why won't my car start even though the battery seems fine?

Accepted Answer

A seemingly healthy battery can still fail under the load of cranking. It could also be a faulty starter motor, a broken earth strap connection, a triggered immobiliser, or a wiring fault interrupting the start circuit. Proper diagnostic testing reveals the actual cause rather than guessing.

Question 2

How much does electrical fault diagnosis cost in East London?

Accepted Answer

At MnF Motors we charge a transparent diagnostic fee to fully test the start circuit — battery load test, starter draw test, earth continuity, immobiliser status and wiring integrity. We quote the repair separately and only proceed with your approval. Call 020 8803 1231 for current pricing.

Question 3

Can a bad earth strap stop a car from starting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A corroded or broken earth strap is one of the most commonly missed causes of a no-start. Without a solid earth return path, the starter motor gets insufficient current and either won't engage at all or turns over too slowly to fire the engine.

Question 4

Will MnF Motors come to me in East London if my car won't start?

Accepted Answer

We are a workshop-based garage at Unit 13 Shaftesbury Road, Edmonton N18 1SW. If your vehicle is immobile, we recommend arranging local recovery to us. We serve customers throughout East London and within 20 miles of Edmonton — call 020 8803 1231 and we'll advise on the best approach.

Question 5

Is it worth diagnosing an electrical fault properly rather than just swapping parts?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Replacing a starter motor when the real fault is a corroded earth strap or a failed battery means you've spent money unnecessarily and the car still won't start reliably. Proper diagnosis saves you money, time and frustration — and that is exactly how MnF Motors approaches every no-start job.
