azam Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 So I started my car today after a year, needed a jump start, thought I’ll take it to work, Birmingham to Coventry, the drive there was okay but revs were a bit hesitant, on the way back the Battery kept on dying, but did start again if I jump start it. Lucky I have a booster pack to hand. My first obvious thoughts are alternator, even tho I had never had this problem or symptoms previously. Before I replace it any tips or things I should look out for. not sure if it is related but previously just before parking the car up, if I touch the body panels, I would get a small static shock.

mattdavies Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Are there any other symptoms ? What are the non starting issue ? Dead or a Click ? I would say a battery or Earthing issue. Put a jump lead between the Battery and Engine and see if it starts to rule out earthing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annabella Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) As above, probably battery, they're not too keen on being depleted completely. Edited March 31, 2021 by Annabella (see edit history) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
