Starting problem (with video)
« on: October 10, 2015, 09:36:52 pm »
Hello all,

I have recently started having issues starting the car - doesn't matter if the car is cold or hot (although it tends to be more frequent if it's cold).  Mate of mine reckons it could be a starter issue.  Anyone seen this before ? :



Cheers

There's a lot of faults which can cause your fault, a few already quoted but you need to start with the simple things:-

battery age/type and condition
Alternator charging at the correct rate
Fuse box and terminal connection soundness
If the above pass then you're got to need access to test equipment and drawing to allow progress.
