My friends still has been suffering flat batteries of late. I put a good used battery on it and it was OK for a while needed jump starting once. Now that battery seems to be goosed.
The other day it just would not start, only way to get it started was a jump start and a squirt of easy start.
I know all about jump starting and easy start so please don't tell me why it shouldn't be done, the car is a shed and has given so much trouble it is beyond belief.
If I jump start it,it will run but remove the jump leads and it will cut out. That would suggest the alternator, however belt is in tact and no messages or battery light have ever been noticed by the owner.
So any ideas what it wrong with it?
Loathed to buy a new battery at the !moment as she is fed up with it and probably looking for another car, could do with getting it running as she would like to part ex it for some money rather than scrap it.
Thanks.
