Re: How to hot wire a t3 fastback

Hi there

Very easy to hotwire a type 3! Take a piece of electrical wire, long 
enough to connect the battery to the ignition coil and connect the 
wire to the + terminal on the battery and to the + side of the coil. 
When connected correctly, the generator and oil pressure warning 
lamps will light up. The ignition is now swithced on. Expect to horn 
to misbehave when you make this connection - feedback or something, 
so I would suggest you disconnect it before you start. Next take a 
screwdriver that has an insulated handle and short the main feed to 
the starter and the wire to the solonoid together. This will get the 
engine to turn and hopefully start soon after....
