Hi all,
so I took my car in to be diagnosed for a lowing manifold. I got told to come at 8. Only to be told when I got there that they wouldn't start until half past because their technician don't get there till then. First annoying moment they take the car I can hear them ragging it out back. Half hour later sorry we can't find a fault. I insist they take it for a drive as I think it is. 45 minutes later sorry nothing. Now I thought about it maybe they aren't lying as they want the business especially at this time of year. So I pay my diagnostic fee the service manager comes with me and takes all the plastic seat covers out and I I'd farewell. Go to start my car no turn over just a buzzing sound try again nothing just the dials bouncing about half a cm up and down with this buzz. I storm back in and say it will not start. I have a varley redtop and have ha for around 6 months just like to point out and have never had issues with starting or it ticking over a lot before starting. When I got up at half 7 it started straight away. Anyway back to this morning they tell me it's the battery and it's completely flat. I argue a but but am so late for work I go to halfords but a battery for £70 and some connectors for £10.
So first question, I have checked the top of the manifold with an inspection mirror, how do I check the flexis?
Second can someone advise on the battery front, do you think they shorted it out? It didn't even turn over that's what gets me. They blamed the cold but again it surely would turn over
