Well went to start the car tonight after it hasn't been driven since Monday and no deal.
half cranked and the sputtered, think the battery is cactus.
Can't wait to get it all checked out, hope that once it's looked over they can fix everything and she'll be sweet!

All good man, cheers... will let ya know if that changes though!
I'll get em to check the car over anyway rather than slap a new battery in and tell em not to worry. Just in case.
Plus there's a couple of things I wanna get them to look at that aren't related to the starting anyway.

Dropped the car off this morning to get checked out and fixed up.
So can't wait for it to be all fixed :D
Will post up what the issue was as soon as I find out more info.

Edit: They just called and said that a lead running from the alternator has melted causing an issue. They said the alternator itself is also no good so new lead and alternator being put in so far.

Alright, outcome was alternator and the lead coming from it was stuffed.
Battery had also sh*t itself and wont charge properly. Picking the car up later this afternoon.
Should be all sweet for a good while now hopefully.
