Hi Guys
If I could ask members for some advice to an intermittent starting fault.
This problem started in the last few weeks, the vehicle will not start unless I jump start it, for instance I drove 10 miles this morning stopped at a garage for fuel, got back in the car, turned the ignition on, once again no lights illuminated on the dash whatsoever, jump started it drove a further 20 miles stopped, and all was ok, back in the vehicle and it started ok.
It can occur sometimes when I stop, all electrical power is zero, no lights on the dash, like the battery has no power at all, then when I jump start it, seems to be ok, like there is nothing wrong.
This year I have installed a new alternator and a new calcium battery which I had checked by today by Halfords, the battery reading was 87% capacity, a good reading.
I would be obliged for any advice to what maybe causing this fault.
Thanks
