deediebumm Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 the battery is the recommended one from renualt and the altinator charges up 1.79 amps more than is required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carosio Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Be more specific-does the engine turn over rapidly when cold, or do you mean it does turn rapidly but does not fire up quickly enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deediebumm Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 it turn over slowly as if the battery is dead but 'usually' starts with a small ish bang after the 4th or 5th turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selphie Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Our Renault used to do that. We bought a new battery and it's been fine ever since. However, back in the olden days I had a car that wouldn't start when it had rained, turns out there was some moisture somewhere but that's all I can remember.
