mikestrivens Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Has some scumbag stolen the battery, or other bits for that matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikestrivens Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 If it ran ok after bump start it sounds like battery is knackered, get a new one. But also check that the alternator is charging the battery. You need a test meter to show the battery voltage prior to starting and after starting.

Sounds painful. Next job is to try to find out what caused the fuse to blow . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikestrivens Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Did you find out what caused the fuse to blow? So if it happens again you need to investigate further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
