Car Won't Start!

[Shell]

Yeah a guy at work said I should call the NRMA to check with a multimeter for me. I managed to get to work with a jump pack (didn't work straight away though, took a few goes) so I'll see how it goes when I try to get home lol

What happened originally is that I used the high beam and the car went into limp mode (yes, warning lights on the dash, like when the coil packs go)... no power at all, even the stereo cut out. Got home, car only JUST started the next day, and then wouldn't start after work but a jump start got it going.

That was last week and it's been fine all week (I haven't touched the high beams, been too scared). Then today..... nothing

Yep, NRMA will check the condish of both the Battery and the Charging System.

Highly Recommend.

I might take it somewhere tomorrow, don't really want to call them out just for that (unless I get stuck here!). Battery is fine - it's brand new.

Could even be a loose / slipping Alternator Belt if all that was messed with when the repairs were done...

[Shell]

We checked that Seems all good!

Is the battery light working? If not the alternator doesnt work.

I can drop buy with a multimeter tomorrow if you want?

What do you think shell?

This thread is too long and I skip posts. Just let me know if you want me to have a look .

Eiji and Zeb, that would be great if you have time.... tomorrow after work, or some time on the weekend?

Happy to sticky the thread if you guys want.... I'm bad with stickies though, I tend to ignore them LOL

Very unlikley to be low comp after you do a hot test, but in saying that my drift car had almost no comp and we only found that out when decklan from garage 7 put a new clutch in, it was so low you could blow on the flywheel and it spin lol.....nah but you could turn the engine over with a finger and the bastard still made 280rwkw. Then to top things off the engine sounded perfect however when I pulled the sump off to have a look in there a whole bearing was in the bottom of the sump.....WTF LOL, still ran great and did some stinky skids.

Hahaha that sounds insane Jim!
