MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 2m 22d Posted 06/10/12 09:14 AM Author Share Posted 06/10/12 09:14 AM Ok so went to go for drive bout 1/2hr ago (bout 1hr after driving it previously) and it did the slow crank ie turned key and didn't even get a full crank in, just got stuck for a second or two then car started. So I turned it off and quickly got voltmeter onto battery to test draw and got my misses to crank it.... Car cranked quick as!! Like it had a new battery haha dammit! Voltmeter read 10.9 and went straight up to 13.9. Normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 2m 22d Posted 08/10/12 01:20 PM Author Share Posted 08/10/12 01:20 PM What about all of these "hi torque" ones I'm seeing on eBay? Haven't done a starter in a bf, pretty simple? Don't have a hoist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
