ellis Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Morning all - car finally decided to die on me this morning - has been sluggish starting for a few mornings, today it was just clicks and no motion!! So, new battery required. Anybody know the best one to get (with code if poss!!). I'm at work and need to pop out to get a new one at lunch but can't be arsed to go home and check which one is in there already (I know its a Varta but don't know the size/code etc) Thanks in advance chaps!

bondinho Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Are you sure it is a battery and not the starter motor? My starter motor went like that, started on and off occasionally, then one day just clicked and wouldn't start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My starter motor went like that, started on and off occasionally, then one day just clicked and wouldn't start. No - motor is clicking fine but not enough charge to turn the motor over. Been sluggish for a few mornings before now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
