Any mechanics on here...

My car won't start, everything lights up on the dash fine and when I turn the key it struggles like fuck and won't start. The starter motor starts but the engine won't start. I thought at first it would most likely be a low battery, but I checked the voltage on it and it's reading about 12.5V. Would it most likely be a starter motor change?

Sounds like it's fucked.

I thought that but when it's turning over it almost cuts out like the motor is stopping.

Not the battery, i put my multimeter on it and it's giving over 12V

Fluff on the whirly bits.

Yes I know but I still think its a low battery.

Oh wait Ive just thought, spray WD40 on the wires around the battery see if that helps.

can you put your multimeter over it and have someone else try to start it, if the battery is screwed it'll drop well below 12v. It maybe that it is doing that then the voltage is recovering before you remeasure it. Failing that does it bump start to narrow down whether it is the starter motor?

Thanks mate I'll try that later

Take the battery leads off, clean up the battery terminals with emery cloth or sandpaper and reattach the leads, might just be dampness.

Has your car got any petrol in it?

Have you checked the flux capacitor?

No.

Do you park on grass?

Sounds like a fault with the left phalange.

Is the car spinning over fast or slow ?
