Problem starting
« on: July 22, 2015, 08:59:57 pm »
In the mornings the car starts ok. Could be a little better. But on a few occasions I start the car no problem, move it on the road from the drive for and then come back to it say 30mins later the car really struggles to start like the battery is almost dead.

Is my battery going?

Could be a battery issue. This is where a place like halfrauds come in handy for a free battery check if you haven't got a volt meter  :happy2:
