Hey guy's, I hadn't driven my car for a couple of week's, i left the ignition on one arvo when i was going to work,(so dad could get some bolt's out an didn't have to stuff around with alarm) when i came home that night i went to move it, it just made a noise like flat battery, so next day i put new battery in an same noise again, then 3 day's later went an tried again an battery was dead an nothing was left on, does this sound like start motor/solonoid has locked on an just drains the battery an the starter motor/solonoid are stuffed? it start's when i clutch start it. thank's heap's

maybe try charging the batterys and do a electroliyt test if thats good look for bad connections and do a current draw test to see how much power the car is drawing with the ignition off it will draw a little power but not much should only be in the miliamps

See how ya go but i think its just a process of elimination there. Cheers Doug
