dan Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 I have a rover 214, its been sitting on the drive for 6 months now, I went to start it the other day and it wont start. The ignition lights come on but once I turn the key for the engine to start there is nothing there. No noice nothing. Could this be a battery? I turn the lights on and then try to start it and there is steel nothing and the lights dont dim. I need the car up and running quick so any help will be great Quote

dan Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 ooh sorry I should of said that I put the battery on charge. maybe my charger aint working right but the weird thing is that when I turn the final turn of the key the lights dont even dim. Maybe the cells in the battery have been damaged whilst it was sitting unused. Quote

basshead4life Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 bad starter? i would assume this^^^^ Quote Team S.M.D. Maritime Car Audio- (2) 18" SSA ZCON D1 - American Bass 500.1 - 60 ft of 3/0 -480 Ah of battery - (2) stock alternators (70 +90) - Kenwood Excelon x-794, 4v preouts car audio is just a LOT more complicated than "this amp does this power" or "this sub will be this loud". its like 2 + 2 = banana. (if that confuses you then you get the point) lol
dan Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 thanks guys, I did think about this because if the starter was to be good then it should dim the lights when i turn the key, I will have to try and clean all cable connections from the starter. thanks guys Quote
dan Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Posted March 24, 2010 when I got home from work today I disconnected the earths, wires 2 the starter motor and the battery terminals and now when I turn the lights on and turn the key the lights dim and you can hear the car trying to turn over, I tries bumping it with leads from my mums car and it didnt help much. Think it may be the battery Quote
