Re: Engine won't start
Broke down in the day, I don’t think he tested the battery? We did just use a battery tester and it said mine was half charged to dead, just a cheap tester from Lidl.

Re: Engine won't start
Those lights kinda stayed on whilst it was starting, used a different key and it didn't start, it popped and didn't turn over very well. The chipped key had it cranking sounding more normal but didn't start. I've just checked the battery and the volt meter was showing it between half charged and ver...

Re: Engine won't start

Re: Engine won't start
