jump starting

[666FLO]

Is it OK to JUMP START the car? Its flat..

I\'ve had to jump start mine a couple of times....No probs...:bandit

It\'s not doing anything different to the car than when you start it normally, you\'re just adding a second battery.

Both times I\'ve flattened the battery was because I accidently flicked the side lights on without realising it...:Hammer

I found if the battery is dead they don\'t tend to like starting even Jumped? If the Dash lights come on then Usaly it will start ok.

I know it sounds Dumb but make sure there the Correct way around, A mate Jumped his GTI-R of a Combo van and thought Brown was Power and black Earth....... NOPE!!!! he Fried his Alarm and Alt. We found it quite Amusing but he did\'nt. LOL
