Starting issue - battery?

  1. Went out to use the bus today. Turned key lights on then dim, no start. Right hand oil light (orange) flickering and a clicking sound. She bloody started yesterday although was very sluggish to turn over.

    Going to pull and charge the battery but wondered if this could be anything more sinister.
     
  2. How old is the battery. They don't last forever. Probably good idea to buy a new (quality) battery and clean up the wiring connections at the battery.

    Starting issues must be the most common question on here (and on club8090 for T25 owners). You could try the search facility. If not the battery, could be any of many possibilities.

    I had similar problem, new battery, replaced old wiring and connections and renewed gearbox earth strap. Problem sorted. Now my bus starts instantly every time.
