Re: [Stuart's Peugeot 306 Club] Digest Number 544   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1195 of 1411 |
Hi,

Sounds like a really really really dead battery. This would mean no spark
and therefore no ignition.

Make sure the terminals / connections on the battery are clean and good,
also check the connections from there to the starter (+) and car body (-).
