Hi!
I had a problem startin the car a couple days back and assumed that the battery was knackered. I replaced battery and was ok for a couple days! I jumped in the car last night it and it started but then struggled to keep running, so gave it some revs and was fine!
Now this morning its dead AGAIN! The car locks and opens fine, the lights on the dash all come up and go out as they shoud but wont even crank or jump using the jump leads!!
Last week i put a new cd head unit in and have read on here that sometimes it drains the battery flat. Also the service/inspection light is on would this be a problem?
Please help!! :(
Regards Stu

Shock that received any ideas or help what so ever!! But briefly sussed the problem and it was due to a worn starter motor.
