    The car is struggling to start up.

    Get in car - it seems ok, all ignition lights come on, turn over it sounds as if the battery is flat, won't quite fire.

    Couple of tries the alarm light starts flashing.

    Get out - alarm car - then unlock get in turn key, fires up.

    When warm it seems to fire up each time ok.

    Been in garage all winter on trickle charge

    Any thoughts.. hopefully she fires up ok tomorrow so I can bring to meeting :shock:

    Is there a loose wire somewhere?

    Is the battery not keeping it's charge?

    would say battery... check battery connection and earth. could be alternator.
     
  4. Could be altenator or battery.
    I'll bring a multimeter to the meet if your going in the car ?
