starter motor always sounds like a bag of nails and I've got used to that, however last night was v.cold (for the south) and starting the car up this morning it appeared to sound even worse than usual - and almost as if it were turning over slower than usual.
my initial thought was that the battery is getting a bit tired, however thought I'd check and see if any of you have experienced the same symptoms before I start worrying about buying a new battery.
whats the expert view - battery or starter motor?
cheers
Matt
