hey steppa, i am in no way a mechanic or even that handy around cars, but if you're certain your battery is working fine it could be your alternator.. it happened to mine and i had to get it replaced. when i was driving home from work and all the electrics started to slow down and the lights faded, finally bringing the car to a stand still. i was able to start it like you are every now and then but would have to wait. but yeah guess you'll have to get it checked out to be sure...
in other news, this is my first post and unfortunately i have a starting problem also but not like any above. i tried searching the forum, have been for the past half hour going through the threads, so sorry if a solution already exists.
anyways, the car clicks over and everything seems to be getting ready to kick in, and then nothing... fan belt stops its cycle and i'm left with a dead car. electrics all seem sweet, lights radio instrument lights etc., (battery's brand new). A mate suggested it could be the fuel pump but could it also be a starter motor problem??? it worked fine yesterday and today nothing so i assume this means its been a gradual problem. any help would be tops. cheers, pat.
