hi there,
I have triedto search for some advice on this problem but hard to know what to search for!
My 406 on start up will try to turn over very slowly as if there is no battery power. It will then make a 'ticking' noise when turning the key. It will continue to do this over and over and you get a funny sulphur smell. Then, it will all of a sudden turnover. There doesn't seem to be any logic to what suddenly allows it to start.
I have replaced the battery and had temporary fix on the vaccum hose which had come off.
Other odd things I have noticed are the dash lights on start up and warm up will get brighter and dimmer and the electric windows are tricky to close only moving in short bursts.
The car has a keypad immobiliser, could this be causing a problem?
Any advice is most welcomed, I just don't want to fork out a load of cash if it's not worth it!
Many thanks!

Seems like low amp delivery from battery?? All connections need be known clean and tight enough. I'd check that alternator output is up to par also,
