Morning all,
Went to drive the car last night (MK1 Punto) and the damn thing wouldn't start :bang:
It sounded like a flat battery (turn the key, engine tries to start but gives up with no power). Called a mate to jump it and it it didn't work Suddenly thinking I need a new battery (its about two years old) then I realised the lights are on and the wipers and radio works, so the battery is fine
Does this sound like an alternator or starter motor issue?
The last couple of drives i noticed that the car struggled to start from cold (I chalked it up to the cold weather) i.e. i'd drive to the supermarket, car would slightly struggle to start, but starting the car to drive back there wouldn't be any issue at all.
Is there anything else it could be?
