garyJ7 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hey guys need some advice, as title said i left my inside light on on friday night when i went out to the car to look for something, now almost 48hrs later i wont even turn, only life is lights on the dash and the inside light with was still going. (now off), ive got a couple of mates coming to give me a push, will the starlet push start its just i read somewhere a guy saying starlet,s don't push start, seems like a fib but id rather check first, also will the battery bi fine if i do get it started and go for an hours drive?? mine is a 99 1.3 standard. All i can do today is get it push started as i don't have a charger, i need to go to work early in the morning, whats my chances of the car getting me there?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garyJ7 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 just double checking Colin you mean a jumpstart as in with leads? don't even have that option today as I've nobody about with leads and a car until tomorrow.Or will it push start ok, maybe that what you meant, just don't even want to try if it wont work.

Ollieh17 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 When mine was proper dead after leaving the light on it wouldn't bump. Had to get jump leads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garyJ7 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Just remembered i'm covered with AA with my insurance, their on there way, so after they get me going will the battery be fine after an hours drive or will it prob's need replacing?? Also do you think it will start in the morning to get me to work after a good drive tonight?? i'm scared that even parking on a hill is'nt an option now lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Knowing the AA they will probably try and sell you a battery when theyre out. Especially with it being cold now. If you are worried about getting to work in the morning you might be best just replacing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 i think its 8or9v wen it wont start anymore with a bump/push then leads are needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garyJ7 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Cheers for the advice guys, just bit the bullet and got him to put in a new battery, just started a new job last week and don,t want any fucking about with the battery, he tested it before he did anything and it showed up as 9.18v, 67cc (?) after 15 mins on booster and car running between idle and low revs he tested it again and it showed12.5v and 131cca, he showed me that rating is 350 so was still quite a way off, i'm not very car savvy, anyone think i made the right call or was i suckered lol??
