Hi guys,
Been trying to fix this for quite a while now, so...
So the 306 decided to drain its battery randomly. Doesn’t seem to do it over a long period of time or for any reason. You can switch the electrics on for 2 minutes before starting and it will be fine other times it just refuses. It had a brand new battery and alternator less than a year ago. Had checked and cleaned all earths, re-joined clamp connection, also checked and there are no drains, so thinking possible a f*ucked battery? The other odd thing is when it is completely flat you literally touch jump leads to it and it will start instead of having to sit for a minute and build charge. It’s been really messing with me and I can work it out, going to go to halfrauds later to get them to check that battery because I think it has a years’ warranty. Anyone any thoughts?
Cheers, Adam
