Ersan, were you not advised to buy a new battery several months ago? :roll:

:plus: and when you do get it started don't just repeatedly run it for a few minutes on the drive.

Once or twice to check it works is fine but after that you need to take it for a good run or you will just start killing more plugs / battery as they need to run for enough time to get up to full operting heat (effectivley what you keep doing with the gas cooker or blow torch).

well. if there is spark on plugs, does that mean they should operate correctly but are not because of battery or.... can plugs be dead even if the all spark? cause i will buy a new battery, but i dont want to spend 40 quid more on plugs if they are not dead..

The spark should be a nice rich blue colour. Just because a spark looks OK though, doesn't mean the plug will work under load.

I don't think anyone would call you a bright spark ;)

Before you spent more money on another battery, why not do as other have suggested and put the current battery on your charger at least overnight.
