Hi there bit of help needed. Bought a 306 GTi6 today, there was no battery in it when I went to buy it so the fella put a battery he had lying around in but it was dead as. Tried to use jump leads and get it started which wasn't getting enough boost. So we gave him a push and it bump started no problem.
I took it for a drive was happy enough it just needed a new battery. So went got my car trailer and a new battery for it. Fitted the new battery but it didn't start, so pushed it onto the trailer as it looked like the wire had came off the starter motor but as it was under the manifold I needed to remove it before I could fix it.
When we fitted the new battery the car tried to turn over a few times but then went dead and wouldn't even try to turn over.
Got it home re connected the wire to starter motor but now it won't turn over at all. Lights in the dash come on, radio works, windows go down, all lights work etc and the motor clicks but will not turn over at all. I've tried giving it a push but it won't fire up, same when giving it a tow!
Would there be an issue with the immobiliser that is stoping the power getting to the starter motor?
Or could it be a faulty starter motor? But surely it should of started with a tow or push even if the starter is stuck?
Cheers for any help
