Renault Scenic - Renault Scenic 07 not starting - Martin Sheppard

Hi all. Hoping someone can help.

My scenic seems to have developed a fault in that it only starts when jumped.

Gut reaction is the battery needs replacing but at 100 quid a pop didn't want to waste my money.

Anyone with any ideas?

Thanks

Petrol ,diesel? Could be the original battery. Why not get it tested?

Looks like you've diagnosed this yourself!

If the cars worth the ton go for it.

A decent quality Varta or Bosch battery from battery megastore will be about £50-£60 + delivery, not £100. Fit it yourself - job done!
