:lol: feel the love, now I remember why I paid my £20 :lol: ;)

Dooie- good job I've got the oil burning daily transport which I can use then :lol: I've also got hold of another set of leads so should be able to do it properly tonight.

By the way, where did you get your micra battery from?

I'll give the leads another go tonight, then if that doesn't work I'll go for either a new battery or decent jump start type battery pack.Paz

I bought a decent charger that can do fast charging and starting off the mains too. Its helped me get into work on a few occasions when my wife has left the house and in the frost my battery has drained just that bit too much to start it etc. Short journey's with lights, radio, windscreen wiper etc and the car regularily layed up don't help.

At times like that I was glad I spent the extra £20 rather than calling the RAC and waiting 2 hours or paying for a taxi.

it could be a loose or bad conenection (terminals corroded)either on battery or starter motor! try getting someone with jump leads before bying a new battery.

Should do what I did and fit a proper big 940 amp hour battery in the boot :thumbsup: , I don't know why you didn't buy yourself one of those battery conditioner's :roll: , That way you can leave the battery connected all year round and it will stay in tip top condition when stood for long periods of time 8) :thumbsup: .


OH AND YOUR A DUMBASS :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .

Hey have you checked that your turbo is not seized?

Cos if it is then it will make the click click click noise.........

FPMSL - well, you're all wrong unfortunately - apparently my starter motor has broken loose of its mountings and is running around my engine bay at random hitting other components :( :doh:


































(ok so its the battery you bunch of cnuts :lol: ;) )

So, now I need some tips on where to get a new battery. I know some of you run a Micra battery, is this big enough to crank the engine? I have the jap terminals, so guess I'll need an import Micra battery. Where did you all get yours?

If your changing your battery (at last you got the HINTS :lol: ) then now would be a good opportunity to up grade your battery.

I know people still run a Micra size battery but it does no harm to change to a bigger one. In Japan the batteries don’t need to cope with our harsh weather conditions so require less cranking power for them to start the car.

All I did in mine was order a battery off Pete and he supplied some nice new shinny bigger terminals.

My mate works at halfrauds so I can get them trade, I'm happy with a micra one tbh as long as people haven't had any problems with them :)

The only time when your going to notice it is when you start your car on a very cold morning/night.

Is your car normally garaged?
