Hi All
I know this has been covered but I can't find a thread that matches my exact situation. So, at the risk of getting a bit of stick I thought it best to ask for help.
My car unlocks and first attempt at starting dash lights were on but it wouldn't start. Just a click. This must have taken any last life out of the battery as the immobiliser light went out (retro fitted). Although it still locked (sounded slower than usual) which on reflection may not have been a good idea.
I have no mains where the car is stored so can't charge on site.
Couple of questions...
1. Is it safe to get the RAC to get the battery going then take it for a long run and see what happens?
2. Should I just replace the battery?
The car hasn't been used since New Years Eve. Up to this point everything worked perfectly. Battery was in good shape.
The real sting in the tail is that I was just about to install a very competent solar panel system to trickle charge the battery. However, got taken into hospital on New Year's Day and only got out last week.
Thanks for reading.
