Car won't start

Post by BiggestNizzy » Sun Nov 28, 2010 9:16 am

This morning the clio wouldn't start and I had to push it uphill in the snow to get it on the downhill section of teh carpark to bump start it, not fun and my legs are on fire as a result.

everything points to the battery being shagged, it was cold last night and it sounded like it wasn't egtting enough juice. I only ask because it got a new battery in the summer.

any ideas ?

Get the battery charged then tested with a load/discharge tester probably be the best idea before you blame it and scrap it, would have thought it may have had a guarantee ?
...either that or ..cross trainer/cycling would help the leg burn ? :D
