    Default vs senator aint starting

    hey everyone

    we went to my grandparents place for christmas lunch, and I wanted to take photos of the senator so i can upload them on this site. however as I went to the garage and tried start it nothing happend, like it went i turned the key it tried to start up. its sounds like a dead battery to me although the car hasnt been started in a month. ive checked all the fluids oil,brake,powersteering, and alll seem to be fine, the only other thing that I could thought about was the alternator? Im buying a battery this week so I should find out whats wrong with it in the next couple of days

    UPDATE for the commodre: first deposit paid for the ss

    Easiest way to check if the battery is dead is to turn the headlights on - if bright then no worries...if dim start walking. The other thing is that if a Commo is not started for a few days, you may need to press the unlock button a few times otherwise the immobiliser will still be on. This only applies if the car has been left unlocked as in a garage etc.
