Petrol 1.4 starting

[Mark_Stephenson]

Hi
My 1.4 petrol a2 has started to be a little reluctant to start on cold, serviced not that long ago, runs fine and restarts from hot, 112,000 miles, otherwise, I love my A2.

Wondering what the state of the battery is?

Or the earth strap?

Just ordered a new battery from the Halfords people, who will come to my place and install new, along with a windscreen wiper. not the worlds best battery, but better than the one in the car. also bosch windscreen wiper, installation … no charge (apart from the mark-up of course).
