bad inferno Member 130 Member For: 19y 8m 9d Posted 09/08/08 06:26 AM Share Posted 09/08/08 06:26 AM Hi,I had been thinking over the last month the starter has hesitated to start, however now when I turn the key the starter just clicks. Whats the chances of it being the battery ?. the car is 4 years old I did 1500 klm this week so I assume the battery should of been fully charged.rob Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48471-car-wont-turn-overstarter-just-clicks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

no turbo Member 206 Member For: 19y 4m 28d Posted 09/08/08 06:53 AM Share Posted 09/08/08 06:53 AM yep dead battery for sure, the new ones just seem to die.... I went to the hardware no problems came out tryed to start and nothing not even a click. 4 years you have done wellgo spend $130 on a newie and your good to go for another 4 years.

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.

I run a Bosch gold series, a good battery with a long warranty.

With any of the other car's we've had in the family, the battery has decided to die after 3-4 year's, so I kind of expected it.
