Hi All ,
My girlfriend has a 51 reg diesel 206 which has developed a strange electrical problem , she mentioned to me last week it has seemed sluggish to turn over when starting from hot or cold and I'd made a mental note to check for a lose wire or something . When she got home from work tonight she turned the car off then tried to start it again to move to a different parking spot but it would hardly turn over , as though it had a flat battery . I went out and checked the battery leads which were all nice and tight then tried to start it myself , she was standing in front of the car and said when I turned the engine over the headlights flickered , I had a look myself and sure enough they were glowing dim-bright-dim-bright as the engine tried to turn over .
I know very little about auto electrics , do you think it sounds like a bad earth or loose connection somewhere ? , anybody have any ideas where to start looking ?.
T.I.A. Cheers, Ron
