car wont start - pls help

Post by lewist »

afternoon all

ive got a rev1 turbo and its been off the road for the last few months - well since the weather has been bad..thought id put it off the road since its been super cold and snowing in recent times.

well i went to put it back on the road the other day and i topped up the coolant, check the engine oil etc put in a new halfords battery and for some reason it wont start...

when i connected the battery there was no sparks or anything..the alarm didnt go off either....then when i put the key in the barrel it doesnt even turn over...i get no dash lights either..the alarm fob doesnt work...nothing happens...furthermore if i leave the battery in the car it discharges completely in 24hrs or less.

i have checked all the fuses and non of them seem to be broken....not really sure what else to check/do....

if anyone could give me some advice thatd be great.

thanks

Silly question but is the battery round the right way?
