alternator?
Hello all. My car is seeming very slow to start now it's colder. Battery is new a couple months ago, once it's running it's fine but I get that sluggish battery nearly dead turnover. When hooked up to another running car it starts quick and easy.

Re: alternator?
Get yourself a multimeter and check the battery voltage should be around 12V when it's off, then get it running and it should be up above 14v while charging.

Cheers chaos, I'll get one when I'm next off work haha. Unbelievable I've gone on this long without a multimeter.
