    Default Vs not starting

    My Car is pissing me off
    It wouldn't start and I decided to sell it and these mechanics that wanted to buy it came had a look and they said it had a dodgy earth and they used 2 jumper cables and started it
    Now the car stalled as I was driving it and it's parked near my house I tried jumping it with 2 cables it still wouldn't start
    Can Anyone help me on starting it

    Here's the thing
    Its got a brand new 600cca battery
    I put a new voltage regulator
    It's charging at around 13.5-13.8

    I'm going insane trying to figure this out

    It could be dodgey or borken earth leads that go from the battery negative terminal to the engine block and the body..Try connecting the jumper lead to the negative battery terminal,and to the engine block,then try to start it.If it doesnt go,then you may also have to connect another jumper lead from the same negative battery terminal to the body as well as the engine block..
