Rossyboy Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi guys, I need a bit of help! I changed the front bumper on the supe yesterday and when i went to start it after, it wouldn't start. Just get a rapid clickclickclick whilst the key is turned. Any ideas anybody? All the dash lights work fine and theres plenty of power in the battery, i was thinking maybe a sticky starter or something? (I'm not a mechanic..... ) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Scott Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Sounds like the battery TBH. It takes a LOT of juice to start the supra. I had to jump mine from 2 cars when it died Scott =op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnas78 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 And that sorry some time sbattery shows as power but like scott said it take ssome power, they last about a year and a bit knackerd after that espacially if cars not in use regaulary, so best probabley buy new one instead of wasting money on the battery tablets think new batts about £90 quid on a turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think so mate. Had mine in 4 years now, never had a problem. Mine is only a weekend toy and not used every weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Battery should last at least 5 years if used on an almost regular basis. If its left connected for long periods of time without being used it won't last long. Scott =op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossyboy Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Thanks, I'll give that a go then... I only really use the car at weekends and it's been playing up a bit recently. It just about turns over and then fires so it does sound like the battery. Cheers I'll let you know if it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 when my battery died i had exactly that, dash and radio etc all worked fine. AA came out. showed him and it was an instant "yeah your batterys gone". Jumped it and got a new battery... all well since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
