Hi All
Im new to all this so please be gentle! (and as helpful as you can)
Just bought a 2001 LS430. 160k miles. FLSH. Bought it coz I love the shape and its different! Its been well looked after - serviced on time etc. The car hadnt been used for about 4 weeks. When I went to buy it, we had to jump start it. Drove it 70 miles home on Sunday. Didnt do much driving coz had to sort of insurance etc. On Wed, wouldnt start. Shock!! Had to jump start it. It started. Drove it for abit. It started on Friday - drove it for abit. Took it to the garage. They said battery is ok. Alternator is sort of border line.
My problem is, after that, my confidence has gone down. Will it start again? I dont want to use it often - its like my weekend car. So Im thinking - if I leave it for a few days, will it start up? Is there anything I can do to make sure it starts even after a few days? Do I need to take it on long runs every week or will it be ok if I do 5 mile local runs every 2 days?
Any advice. Ive checked the boot light etc - seems ok and goes out
Would value any help!
