First of all I have a Ford Focus TDCi 2003 115bhp
So I have a fault with my Focus, it wont start, I know the battery is dying and I need to get another so I borrowed one from my friend and it still didn't work. We read it on a multimeter and the voltage dropped by 2-3 volts when switching the engine on.
I have had a mechanic look over the car and he said he cannot find the fault, but also his OBD Scanner will not talk so we cannot get the fault code/s.
When I switch on the engine it first trys to start (sometimes) then no revs and the coil light flashes, we have checked the relays and they seem to be working with the use of multimeter. We have also checked if diesel is going through the injectors and it is.
When I drove the car yesterday (after using jump leads) it died on me when I was idle at a junction, but started when I tried again, But this morning it just wouldn't start at all.
I am at a loss and would really love some help
