If that is a bit lazy it will struggle to start first thing in the morning.
Hey man, thats a very valid point you have mentioned. It has definitely sounded like its slowing down (struggling) a lil. It used to turn over fast, now its a bit lazy.
So you reckon its most likely the battery? Considering i have a different relay and different plugs, Im positive its that battery or even maybe the alternator.
What I have noticed which is probably linked to this, if I have my radio/lights/whatever else on and then open the door, the interior light flickers a lil as the motor turns over. I would reckon the alternator is maybe not giving enough juice to the battery. How can I test that and be sure? Access to the alternator a bit tricky to be honest as well
Thanks for all the replies guys.
