help please my 90 wont start :(

(1/5) > >>

TDi90:
i drove from the new forest last weekend to petersfield... (had to jump start her to get her going) then came back today after 5 days of no running her and truned the key... started turning over whitch got slower and slower until it stopped turning over and all i could hear was the starter motor clicking... any ideas? is the battery knackered? alternator? glow plugs?  

cheers Rob

p.s. its a 200TDi 90

Snooky:
Sounds like a dead battery, mine did the same, could start easy with jump leads but if left for more than a day would have to get them out again, so got a new one  :wink:

TDi90:
thank you... now its time to do some mud club reading on batterys and where to ge tthem and whats a good one :)

Dennis the diesel:
Hi Rob
Also be aware that if your battery is REALLY flat, there probably wont be enough ooomph to open ths fuel cut-off solenoid, hence no fuel!
This may not be of any help in your current predicament, but something to bear in mind!

TDi90:
cheers chris!
well there is a small amount of charge in it, but not enough to get the starter motor going... i mean it clicks as i said but not enough to start it.
any ideas what a good starter battery is? i know the optima red top... anyo others you can reccomend? and where is the best place to buy?

Cheers again, Rob - from FREEEZING cold petersfield!
