Battery? :confused:

Battery!

I'd check the battery volts.

The car will start with some very low volts but the electronics hate it.

Below 12.0V and it's definitely the battery. A good battery will be 12.5V+.

Thanks I'll check the battery

OH No the car wont start now. When you try yo start it the headlight keeps flashing and the engine just sounds like tack tack tack tack tack tack.

how old is your car?

should be battery, but in that case you should also have on your OBC a fault notice(battery sign) about that.
