#1: Help 206 not starting!! Author: griffsxi, Location: DerbyshirePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 12:13 pm ---- Hi All,
Just tried to start my 206 and the engine barely turns over its like the battery is flat. I hooked up the mrs's car with jump leads but its still doing the same! It just wont start!
I've been looking on here abpout the earth strap from gearbox to the bodywork. Is there a way I can check by connecting a jump lead from the engine block to the bodywork myself to see if this is the probably?
All sugestions will be greatly received.
Many thanks

Put a wire from -ve to chassis to rule out the earth
Test battery voltage or put your lasses battery on your car to rule out a dead cell

Thanks for all your help

It just seemed odd that the battery just went like that, the day before it was fine
Thanks everybody for all your help
