Won't start - here we go again.....

KingWolf:
Mine 300tdi was left for a week between xmas and New Year and when I went to start it there just wasn't enough power to turn it over fast enough. Stuck it on charge for an hour and it fired up straight away...!!! I was going to see about getting the battery replaced as it's still under guarentee as I feel it should still be able to start the Disco after a few days of going nowhere but after reading the above maybe there is nothing wrong with the battery and it's just normal...!!!! I'm now slightly confused....lol

davidjmiller:
Seems to me there are reasonable number of people who have this problem, maybe there's a small design fault that makes it easy for the electricity to be lost.

It reminds of that TopGear that was on Dave 37 times over xmas where the boys spend £10K on a supercar and James keepsrunning of electricity!!!

So, I'd be interested to know how mant people on here have a 300 Tdi and do n't have this problem??

Cheers,

David

my 300tdi was a lazy starter, but not since i bought 2 of the biggest batteries that would fit in the trays and hooked them up parrellel

now i can leave it for weeks and it starts no problem even in this weather

90sam:
Ours is lazy too
And its an auto!
Weird  :-k

hrox:
Mines seriously lazy and even though it's used every day i got out in the cold and try and start it, it starts but you can hear the lack of power that is there as the starter motor trys to turn.  Last year i had to give up and leave the car in the winter as it would just not start at all and i ended up being late for work.
