Would be interested in anybodies thoughts or similar experiences -thanks.
Car wouldnt start this afternoon after being parked for about three hours. First nothing much happened and lots of "ticking". After about ten minutes or so of trying and waiting it started to almost cough and eventually started and drove home okay. I'm wondering if i could have left the power on and maybe a blower slightly on - not sure now. But then would the power automatically switch itself off anyway (wouldnt trying so much just drain the battery more? And whenthe car finally started there was no battery warning light on. So could it have been the battery? Or something else.
Its booked in the garage next week but knowing garages if it doesnt happen in front of them they wont do anything about it- so any ideas appreciated. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.Thanks in advance.
