Starlet__SR Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 You need to do a diagnostic on it. See what kind of state the battery is in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlosd87 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Where can I get that done from? Some where like euro car parts or halfords? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Halfords usually do it for free Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlosd87 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Wicked cheers for that bro, fingers crossed is just battery Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Is the starter clicking or the lights going dim when you try to turn it over? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlosd87 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Starter clicks yea, just been to halfords and the start up test said to change battery as it was jus low on amps the guy told me to drive around for a bit. Past three weeks the car has been in garage so hasn't had the usaual run around could this be y the amps have dropped? All other test came back fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Quite possibly. Atleast they've been honest and not tried to just sell you a battery. When the amps is low thsts not a problem. Its when the voltage is down, that's when you have a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlosd87 Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Voltage was slightly down, but the guy said if it was below half then it's buggerd, took it for a run gonna wait a couple of hours and see what's what Quote Link to post Share on other sites
