    Starting

    Ok.

    Willy is a little unhappy at the mo. It starts most times tbh but every so often when i turn the key and starts but tries to cut out half way though if u no wot i mean. Only happens once every 2 days or so....

    I do have a ****ing annoying exhaust that is proper hangin at the mo that tbh i want to get shot of cos its bugging the hell out of me. That wouldnt casue start up probs if the hole was big enough no? (Thinking about that thats a stupid idea)

    Starter motor?

    Sounds like a loose connection on the starter motor, check the white wire.

    Unless you use the car a lot ,over the winter .....heater, lights,etc take life out of the battery .

    When did you last have the battery checked? or charged up.
