Hi all, typical eh? Been out all afternoon washing & polishing the car and went out before and now it won't start

All ignition lights are on and everything is working but when the engine is spinning over, there's a loudish whirring noise, like it's the starter motor or something not catching on. :ffs:

Incidentally, about this time last year it did the same thing, i changed the sparks and it seemed ok. But since then it has done less than 10k so the plugs should be ok yet i'm thinking.

Anyone any ideas as (typically) i need to use it tommorow so any help will be great.

Cheers. 😉

Was the radio on interior light on check Battery voltage if you have a voltmeter if it drops to 11.7 it defenitally wont start.

charge it up with a Battery charger some tell you the amps going through and other tell you when you are at verious charge positions when it at 80% its ok to go.

Lock the car to reset the cars computer. Open the car and the key will then start the car. It happened twice to me yesterday, 9 June 2023, which was a very hot day.
