crispyeel Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hey folks. Can anyone tell me if the EP91 Glanza is common for problems with the starter motor? I was going to take my Glanza out for a little run today but I could not get the car to start The car has been tucked away in my garage for almost 3 weeks but the last time it was out it ran/started perfect When I try and start the car, I get all the lights on the dash but the starter just clicks continuously and refused to turn Any suggestions?

crispyeel Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yeah that's what I thought it was at first but even tried jump leads off my girlfriends car but still just get the clicking. Battery is definitely fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crispyeel Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks for the replys folks Well it turns out that it was the battery after all Cant explain why it didn't start with the jump leads yesterday but she started straight away today with a booster pack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fiddlersport Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 get a free battery and alternater check just incase, if its yuor alt then it would have drained the battery Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crispyeel Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Got it all checked. Called the AA out to the house and he confirmed that the battery was the issue. All tests showed that the battery was taking a healthy charge once the car started so the alternator is fine too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
