The treg has become a bit reluctant at starting on a morning
When I put the key in the ignition and turn (without turning the engine over) the vault meter shows about 11.5 - 12v
Engine turns over fine but just doesn't catch. This can happen 10 or 11 times and then hey presto - it starts and the volt meter immediately goes up to 14v. And is fine while driving
Leave the car for anything more than a couple of hours and back to square 1 - sat embarrasingly in the street sounding like I'm trying to start a spitfire
Seems to be getting worse
What do we reckon - new battery? Duff connectors?
If its new battery - anyone know the cost? Only I'm absolutely brassick after the Valve Chamber work :roll:
