Hi all.
I tried to start my landy yesterday but the battery was flat for some reason, it started ok last week. 2.25 Petrol..

I charged it for about 4 hours, Lights worked, turned ignition on and had indicators, horn worked ok.
As soon as I turned key to start it, it drained battery within 1 second, so nothing worked.
Charged over night and just tried it, the starter turned a few times, then just started to click really fast as I turn it over!
Does this mean starter is buggered? :doh:
 
Hopefully it is battery, buggered if I want to crawl under and change starter.
I will try the battery from the misses car when she goes in the shower..:D
Thanks for your speedy replies guys.
 
Just went out and tried again, battery completly flat, not even enough juice to run side lights.
How do they go from being ok, to being complety buggered! stupid things..
 
im a recovery drive these days so i see it all the time
there is no real reason why it would decide to just die but they do
i have known people start the car do a good drive do a bit of shopping and when they come out nothing, totally dead
that can be any time of the year so you cant just say its in the winter when its cold
put a new battery in check the charge rate and go from there
