Hi Guys,
Just wanted to thank all the boys and girls out that helped me clutch start(my first time  ) the Supra tonight. It's a bloody heavy car, I definately miss the power steering!
Anyway appears the batter and/or alternator is dead, NRMA coming out now to assertain which is screwed....*prays for battery*
Many thanks to Mos, Michael, Sam, Dave & others who's name I can't remember for asking me the stupid question "is it the battery" and me in my "I've just bought this car, it can't be broken already" panic and didn't even look at the voltmeter until I'd disturbed you all from dinner
Thanks again
