Laboured start !!!!

Hi guys,

Went to start my car this morning and it felt and heard like it was struggling to turn over,

Thought that yesterday as well, now is this in my mind or do the s/c vouges always do this,

Any thoughts would be appreciated Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Hi yes it started ok, but as I have only had it 3 weeks and because of this obsession with the car

And the forum every little thing I'm noticing Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry

But even after I started it and then tried it again the same laboured start again !!!

Battery or starter motor. I believe the starter motor is a swine of a job on this vehicle Big Cry

You need a good 10-15min drive to put a decent amount of juice back into a battery after starting it otherwise your just draining it even more Sad FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

BATTERY15 Thumbs Up

Just enter your car details on their site - it will bring up suggested batteries for your vehicle.

If you do a 'search' there's quite a bit on here about batteries, which ones, fitting process and the 'snug' fit. From people who probably know more than me Whistle

Definately go for the 110. When you fit it, it might seem that it will never fit but it does, albeit very tight! Reformed

To fit the battery you need to open the bonnet fully (access mode) by disconnecting the struts.

Loads of info on this thread -

With batteries on these cars, in a "cold" climate like the UK, I suggest to go for the biggest capacity that you can find (Ah and CCA) to fit. It is a bit like the old American saying "there is no substitute for cubic inches" with batteries that should be amps Wink MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!
