Hello all this is my first thread and I'm new to here/forums in general, thought I'd try it out instead of struggling alone all the time lol,
Anyway I just purchased my 306 2.0 xsi in moonstone blue , love the color and loving the car so far however I have a few issues but ill start with the one that the thread is for,
Charged up battery as car was sat for some time before I bought it and it was very sluggish to start ,
This seems to have made no difference as it still struggles just the same turning over at around 1 secon per turn which almost sounds just like a dying battery but it cannot be this as I've replaced it.
Further to this two times in a row now once per day, it has failed to start at all (like the immobiliser isn't registering) turning keyall electrics on but no response from starter at all, after sitting with it going off / on with ignition for around 7-8 minutes it'll decide to turn over and fire up but still with the struggle.
My theory is starter motor but just wanted to be sure as it's quite odd...
I've done alot of mechanics before so I'm defiantly up for the jobs it's just Ive aways been a ford man, only recently changed to peugeot, so neeneed to learn the common faults..
Sorry for long post haha.
P.s alternator was making a high pitced whine for first couple of days but this *seemed* to go away...
