Could it be the starter

[Carl]

Hi guys getting angry now, me and my boy in car ready to go out in the sun but car won't start, thought it was bettery because happend a few days ago so got another all fully charged but still just turns over very slowly all dash lights dim. Could this be starter motor. Appreciate some help thanks carl

It could be the starter, or it could still be the battery - does your replacement have a sufficient CCA rating, and is it properly charged?

Hi thanks for reply,the guy said it's a heavy duty one but my other was doing the same thing. Can you clean out starter motors? Thanks for help

[Carl]

Oh and yes the battery said fully charged on charger. Thank

Don't forget battery terminals and cables too. Check those going to the starter(and it's main terminal) and those coming away ...ie the earth return cable bolted between engine and/or gearbox and the chassis.

Here's an update. Borrowed next door neighbours car attached jump leads and started straight up. Drove to my mates who's got a battery check device thingy said was not good basically so gona invest in a brand new one . Iav left battery terminal of tonight to see if fires up in morning to make sure. Thanks again for your help
