Hi,
The other day as mentioned in a previous thread I ground to a halt on a main road and had to be towed home.
Installed a new fuel pump and the car started up first time. Great!!!!
Left the car for about four days and put the battery on trickle charge.
The battery should have had full power and i think that it is fine however when I turn the key the starter motor (which is two years old) clicks and doesnt quite turn the engine enough to start it, there is a whining sound when it is not turning in between the clicking noises.
The car will bump start first time every time and once running is fine..
Is it that the battery is just not up to the job anymore or are the above symtoms old news to anyone.
Cheers in advance
