Neighbour has been trying to start his wife's car for a good hour now. Keeps clicking without turning over.
He had the same issue a few months ago and was convinced it was the battery. Gave it a jump start and charged it up.
Myself and another neighbour suggested it might be alternator, he didn't want to hear it.
Looks like he's up for an alternator for 99 Honda Prelude.
My ol' '02 civic did that a few times. Turns out it was a faulty battery lol.
Let him live in hope.
I'm pretty sure he's put a new battery in it after the jump start.
I'll be listening out for more engine noises over the next few days.
