Would a new battery be an option if this one is failing? I could take it n get it tested for faulty cell. |
Update. 19/01/2021
Changed fuel filter as per Artic's suggestion and excellent and detailed post. Easiest job I've done on the car and no spilled fuel. Charged battery but only for 6hrs.
Engine fires but won't pick up unless the starting procedure is maintained for ten seconds then it will tick over smoothly. Took it out for a drive and had no issues with cutting out.
However, once the ignition is switched off the same starting issues repeat.
Tomorrow I will take it to local battery dealer and get that checked.
Frustrated.
