Hey guys,

Went out to go for a drive this morning and the car wouldn't start.

Threw it on the battery charger for a few hours to give it a bit more of a kick, its trying to turn over but just wont go.

Half a tank of petrol in it (put in last night...hope it wasn't watery fuel)...fully charged battery...anybody got ideas?

When you say its "trying to turn over" do you mean it cranks fine like normal or it is really slow to crank??
