bongo hasnt been driven for 4 weeks now
started her last week and ok but tried just now and just get nowhere
am in rac so can get them to pop out but want to get the obvious checked
contacts in the starter motor - i did about 2 year ago - it sounds like something trying to turn but sticking
at electrical level

i dont have acharger and it's the recommended bosch battery prob 3 year old
any recommended charger
any recommended testor - no idea if mines is working - never know the setting and nothing that i get a reading of 12 anyway

thanks

Hi Karen,

Does it sound more like a rapid clicking, & do the warning lights fade at the same time...?
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...
