hiya my car wouldnt start this morning , it wouldnt even turn over as a newish owner of a tf , could this be anything to do with the heavy rain we have had and the vents to the engine?
That would be one of the most unlikely reasons for the car not turning over.
Is there any sound at all? Do the lights work? Does the horn work? Does the radio work? These all require electricity to operate - as does the starter motor. If none of these work then the power supply needs checking.
Do you have a multi meter (nobody should be without even the cheapest)? Connect across the battery and see if there is any life at all.
I am going to get the rac out I think when i get home from work. One question is it likely to cost me any money?!
Getting worried as going on holiday tommorrow , so this is all i need!!
Sounds like the battery could be flat if nothing works...infact if the radio and lights don`t work I`d go 95% the battery is flat. Do you not have anyone living near you with jump leads?
If it is the battery it will cost nothing, but then it begs the question WHY has the battery gone flat...could be a simple case of you leaving the lights on or the radio....
Well my stereo has had no power to it for about a week, wasnt sure why? And now its not doing a thing, so maybe it is the battery. i think my neighbour may have some leads so wil definatly try that!
if it is the battery it could be that your stereo actually drained the battery if it was faulty possibly, that'd explain why it stopped working a while ago, and why now your battery has gone flat.
no not yet car is at home still! I am gutted as it had to go wrong just before my hols! Left it with my dad so hopefully ill get a call later saying she is all back working
Well if you need your car taken for a spin or two, just to keep it running nicely of course, then let me know. Im happy to drive it around. Have a good holiday dude!
