Hi Everyone
Sorry, but I am a bit of a muppet when it comes to fixing my car! Yesterday when I first tried to start my car, it was a bit reluctant to start, and then it did the second time but reset the clock. Today, I think it was even colder at night, and it was shaky the first time, but the second time it didnt work, and the third, fourth, fifth... Im hoping I didnt do too much damage to it by doing it loads of times. One of my friends got his car and tried to jump start it, but it still wouldnt work. The Cd player and heating turn on when its on ignition though. What he did was connect it to the big circle type thing on top of the battery, and tried the same on the other one, but it was really hard to get into. Tried it using the screw on top of it, and the circle part after making it go in.
How do I properly jumpstart it, and does it sound like I need a new battery, or just to do it properly?
I have a fiat punto mk2.
Thanks!
