Right, so first things first, hop in the nad to move it to give it a an oil change, won't start. Cranks, weakly. OK, 'battery's dead' I think. Jump it off the Volvo, starts fine, a little lumpy, nothing the loud pedal doesn't fix.
Get it up on the ramps, oil change, sandwich plate, blahdee blah.
Doesn't start again, not surprising, only had it running for 5 mins.
Jump it off the Volvo again, and go for a good 20 minute drive.
On the way back, indicate left, stereo goes apeshit. pauses the music, then flickers the HU on and off, push some buttons, resumes CD from the beginning.
Indicate again, same thing happens, push some buttons, fixes it, then it starts spazzing out with out touching any other electrical stuff in the car.
Get home, turn the car off, go inside, remember I wanted to patch up and heat wrap the exhaust, so I go out with the intention of turning the car around to work on the exhaust, notice that the stereo is on, but not playing anything.
Try and start it, dash lights come on really dim with the ignition, and then it thinks about cranking, but then gives up the ghost. Just clicks when I turn the key.
Up until today, I've had NO issues what so ever starting it in the morning. well, not from battery related issues anyway.
Just to clarify, I haven't fiddled with the electrics since I got the car.
What the actual f*ck is going on?
