Renault Scenic car cant start

Car: Renault Scenic
Variant: 1.6 16vvt manual petrol
Model Year: 2003

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss

I just bought the car 1wk ago and it was fine the first 2days. When the 3rd day came in my car couldn't start. I had to jump start it and it was fine till the next morning the same problem. Been to the garage and they changed the battery. Well it was fine till the next day the car couldn't start again. So long story short i hardly use the car since i bought it. Pls help me to find the solution for this problem as the garage telling me that they can't find any problem with the car at all. My wife is due to give birth in a week time and i don't want to face this starting problem when her water brokes.:-(

You say they changed battery , was it a new battery or just a swap ? If not new , get battery tested . Also get alternator output tested .If all o.k , get car checked for battery drain .

Well the garage told me that they have changed new battery but still giving me the same problem.
The dashboard lights are able to work fine but the car just wont start eventhough i have tried several times. Totally doing my heading.

When the car doesn't start , phone the garage and get them to come round and see what fault is .
