Terry Field Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Well it looks like the battery has given up. I connected jump leads to another car and it all came to life. It turned over fine, but I didn't try and start it for fear of flatteing the much smaller slave battery. Anyway, I'm happy that we seem to have found the problem - off to Mr Halfords next I guess. Thanks for all the help as usual chaps. Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith1948 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 A bit late reading this thread but suggest you try a motor factors or battery specialist for a new battery and get one with a bit more oomph (technical term for power!). Halfords recommend a HB038 330 cranking 35 Amp hour battery. I got a Tungstone Titanium 078 490 cranking 55 amp hour heavy duty instead for less money than the Halfords one which to my mind is underpowered. Just make sure you get one with the terminals correct way round for your car. Sometimes +ve is on left sometimes on the right. Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
