C_WRX Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 My car has hardly turned a wheel in the last 6 weeks !! Only started it now and then to move it about the drive. Went out this afternoon and it won't start !!! Seems like the battery to me, had it on charge for a couple of hours but nothing. It clicks and alarm squeaks but that's about it. There's no funny switches that I need to press or anything to reset or anything like that is there ??? Failing all that I think the battery is goosed !?
the squiggle Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Sounds like either insufficient charge in the battery to crank it over or dicky solenoid in the starter
gus the bus Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) The Squiggle said: Sounds like either insufficient charge in the battery to crank it over give it an overnight charge as a minimum. I used to get this problem with the 300 but now use a trickle charger on the RA. Best £15 i've ever spent Edited January 30, 2009 by Gus the Bus
colzo Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 As said give it a charge overnight mate. Since I've bought the bike I have hardly driven the car so need to charge the battery fully every 2 weeks.
C_WRX Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Battery was done. Got AA out, boosted it to start, left for a good while while we chatted cars and bikes, then tried starting it on it's own, not even close. Meant I could get a new battery this morning in time for a week of work on the car !
