coolant temt sensor?

I thought the coolant temp sensor failed to start the car when it thought the car was perhaps too hot?

I am having the same problem at the moment. I did have a sub in mine and thought that was draining the battery so i fitted a switch and this didnt do anthing leave it for one day and its dead. Since I've taken the head unit and everything out it has been better but its still doesnt hold for too long and ive had all mine tested. They even looked at my alernater!

sorry is for hot and cold

That's what happened to mine. Lights coming on then gradulally fading/dying if I kept trying to start it. If I left mine for one day or even less it wouldn't start. I had my battery tested as well and was told it was ok. (That was after driving it a few miles to the garage and leaving it 15 mins though)

I replaced the battery and haven't had any problems since.

What battery did you buy for the car? I know there is a performance battery place that ive been told to buy a battery from I'll have to dig up the web addy, but I never got round to it coz someone decided to try and write my car off! Nearly fixed though

I got the Halfords one. I think the calcum type. It's the one up from the bog standard anyway. I know people slate them but I haven't had any problems with it so far.
