Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Ford KA 1.2L 2011. Car won’t start, but The Electrics (one click) works fine, checked battery, seems to working fine. Changed starter motor to new one and it worked a few short drives and then would start again. What could this be?

Your car battery may have weak / dud cells and not holding a charge . Needs voltage tested , like wise the alternator to see if it's charging o.k

Thank you very much! i will get this checked out. I feel as being a woman it’s so hard going to a garage without getting ripped off. I’ve spent so much on my this past year and I spoke to people and they think it’s because I’m a woman! Madness really! So ill say I think it may be the battery or the alternator (it may go in my favour trying to act like I know what I’m on about haha.) thanks again :)

Unfortunately it happens all to often with women getting ripped off with some dubious garages . Tell whoever is doing the work you want both the battery and alternator LOAD tested and a note of the readings . Most good garages or fast fit centres should do these tests foc while you wait , simple 5 min check . Hopefully it's only something simple like the battery needing replaced
