lo all:)
Im having probs starting my supra, turn the key and it sounds like the batt has no charge in it, get a few chugs, then dead, try again a few more times, and it starts ok, and drives fine. dont think its the batt because all the lights stay on, so not completely dead.

any ideas? im getting a service in about a week, so if anyone can give me an idea i can get the garage to look into it.

thanks all:)

Probably the battery. It takes a lot more energy to turn the engine than to turn the lights on.

Starter needs a rebuild, I can service them for 75 quid, if you bring the car, or 55 if you post the starter.
