Flat Battery

Post by OwenP »

Hi All,

Went out to start my 405 in the sub zero termps we've got (-4) this morning. Everything lit up as normal, but on trying to turn the engine over (have you guessed yet?) only got a couple of very laboured clunks before the alarm went off.

Flat battery. Battery is fairly new as is the alternator (within the last 6 months ish), but the car hasn't run any distance for about 3 weeks. Only other thing one of the battery terminals is cracked although still making good contact can't remember if its the +ve or -ve terminal.

Its a P reg 1.9td

Any ideas? Is it just sitting for a few weeks or should I be looking into it for something a bit more serious?
