Battery

[picklesayrshire]

ive just had a sneaky suspicion my battery maybe bein drained somehow and this may may causing starting problems,usually wen i cant get it started it will try and turn over but only do it a few times b4 goin flat. is this possible and what could be draining it. thanks

Could be alternator not charging, could be started motor, get a multimeter on it, battery will be about 12v with no ignition, try and start it, should go up to about 14v quite quickly. If that all works fine, i would say starter motor

Take it to Halfrauds they`ll do a free battery & alternator check for you
