Starting problems!!

[The MoffMeister]

Hi all recently done a battery relocation n249 112 and evap removal and am now having problems starting car.

Got a new battery and my mate said its lost alot of volts in the battery so changed it to make sure it wasnt battery and it wasnt.

Now got a new battery in the car just got home and same thing again the car wont crank over despite having new battery mate said maybe somethings still running to make it drain volts.

If i tried all the connections and made sure the earths where good would this help or has anyone any ideas, its been happening since day one of getting the car back on the road?

cheers all

So either a stronger battery or shorter cables, yeh?

where did you put the battery, boot in the spare wheel well?

ner ner ian

i put battery in the spare wheel void and use normal battery is fine but i did use a slightly higher amp one just cos of volt drop over that distance just in case

 

[Willie]

Cool was it easy to run the wires?
You have plans for the space where the battery was?

yeah bit fiddly but nowt beyond anyone so to speak run the cable straight down the middle of the car cant notice it so all good there no plans just room to install my oil catch tank
