LoobyLou1985 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Well i was having trouble starting it, but since the new battery yesterday it seems fine. I have been told it cnt be the alternator as when the battery is disconnected the car is still running Could it be a seal on the gasket??? As i was told that needs a new one when i bought it.

As i was told that needs a new one when i bought it. i doubt it is to do with the gasket seal, perhaps check the connections to the battery are tight and the earth cable is connected to the chassie tightly too. other than that im open to learning on this one too.
