Hey.
Ive had countless problems in the past with starting my 1997 1.2 Clio.
I have had 4 batteries on the car now (latest being a heavy duty one), and each one seemed to solve the problem, for a few months.
Today, I tried to start the car with the immobiliser on, it didnt start (thankfully), so I zapped the central locking twice, to turn the immobiliser off, and would it start? Nope.
I waited 10 seconds on ignition for the auto choke to start and still nothing - Very bad.
I ended up being jump started... Ok, I travel 3 miles down the road - Turn the engine off... does it start? yep..
First time? Yep...
So, What is it? Alternator not charging battery properly? Duff Batteries? Duff StartMotor? Duff Anything else?
any idea would be GREAT.. Ive had this for a long time now, and sometimes I dread getting in the car incase it wont start again.
Thanks for any help or pointers,
Daz.
