On my rangie classic I have a problem I just can't work out
Every now and again it just won't start.
I have replaced the battery with a new one and it still does it.
It worked for a few days and then would not start and had to be jumped, once the leads were attached it started first turn.
So I charged up the new battery and it started first time, the alternator is putting in a charge of 13.4 to 13.7 depending on the revs. I turned it off to have another look under the bonnet didn't touch any thing and it would not start again. when it won't start there is a buzzing sort of motor sound from the starter motor and that is about it.
I connected it to the old battery via jump leads and first turn it started I have left it ticking over for 10-15 min and it is now starting fine.
If I disconnect the positive lead I have 0.9 amp flowing from the + terminal to the + lead. the same on the negative side.
and if I disconnect the negative lead I have 0.8 volts running from the lead to the - terminal of the battery.
It keeps doing this and I can't find what it is as it only happens sometimes. Any ideas appreciated.
