Hey guys,
This has been a recurring problem for quite some time but I'm finally getting sick of push starting it.
When I go for a decent drive and the car is fully warm coolant/oil. If I turn it off and try starting it again straight away I can't fire it. It will crank a few times then start getting slower as the battery dies.
If I wait 5 mins it will fire first go no worries and same if it is roll started.
I've checked the battery, runs 12.65v when the car is off and 14.31v when the car is running, so alternator is charging.
Just trying to work out what it is before I set fire to it.
