Right so the past few day the corsa has been a tiny bit slow to start which i was just thinking was because it needed a service, but the other day driving home from work, i had my cd player on 20 and it was really quiet and quite juddery (not a word, i know) My HID's have been playing up too.
Then yesterday morning, i go to start it and nothing happens, wouldn't bump start to had to jump start it, took it out for half an hour and was fine.
Today i try it when i got home from work. First off, when i unlocked it, only my door unlocked, interior light wasn't on. Put the key and turned it, and the oil/eml etc lights were extremely faint, could hardly see them.
I am guessing that i just need a new battery right? Because even the interior light wasn't working!
Price for a replacement?
