Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Chaps, I don't wish to cover old ground and have already read some posts relating to the matter, however i just wanted to explain my specific circumstances before i take the car in and get hit with a hefty bill i'm sure. I have had the car a few months and its been fine, however the other day i was running around and was so busy, i ended up needed to park the car up and take a train with little to no fuel (range left was just 10 miles). When i went to start the car something was working wildly, forgive me ignorance but i don;t know if that noise was (starter motor, alternator, fuel pump etc) but it did remind me of a starter motor only on acid, but the engine refused to jump into life. Almost as though the starter was working but the next part of the chain wasn't. After a few attempts the car did start, i drove and filled up and it seemed like the problem was gone - until the next morning. Again the car was clearly doing its best, but something wasn't signalling it to turn over - eventually it did and i was on my way. Today the car REALLY struggled, and took a lot longer than normal (again doing the same thing). I am almost sure the next time i try it won't start, and it felt like trying was causing damage to something (again i don't know what but my ears were very clear - it wasn't happy). The fact the car will eventually start, and the battery meter displays just over 12v i thought meant it wasn't battery related. When driving the car is fine so i'm guessing it's not the fuel pump. Does this sound like a simple fix i could possibly do or does the car need to go in? It has no warning lights and seems ok other than this. All help appreciated. Cheers Joel

POST 2Original post

Just over 12v on the dash sounds like a naff battery to me. Pretty sure the dial should show over 13.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Oh i see, thank you so much. i thought 12 was the correct reading. If it is a battery i will be very pleased - i can sleep easy tonight. Thank you
