Hi
I had just returned from using the car and all was fine. I used the car again after 4 hours but the engine wouldn't start. I inserted the key into ignition, interior lights are on and dash lights are ok. When I turn the key the engine is dead and the interior lights dim. The battery is approx 4 years old.
Do you think that the battery needs replacing?
THANKS
