IwasAspark Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Hello,This is my first post here.I have a 2003 Galaxy 2.3 that wont start - I have the Haynes manual for up to 2000, motorworld said they haven't got a Haynes manual after 2000 and I couldn't find it on Halfords website. Any tips on where to get the info? I found an excellent post on here relating to replacing relay 30. I've tried that but my relay 30 is fine despite all the symptoms being identical to the post. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks Quote

cyborg Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 If a cell on your battery has gone you may get similar problems Try jump starting or borrow a known good battery. Quote
