Car won't start issue.
I was certain I read about this somewhere but can not find it. I got hit by a surprise down poor while at work. After my shift I found my car would not start. I didn't have anything to test with at work but I could now that I'm home. I ended up push starting it and it drove fine 20 minute drive many lights.
I dont have experience with a dead battery or starter issue on a British car but on most others them the clicking is much faster when trying to start if its a dead battery. Since this is the first time it happened I'm left to believe it was cause by the rain but that is only a guess. When trying to push start it, it clicked once a half second or so and the starter light did flicker. the engine did not try to turn.
I plan on trying it later tonight and I'll get the voltage from the battery while off. Should I check anything else while I'm at it?
Oh and with a top on its near impossible to jump start on flat land alone... First time I need to ask for help.
