odd almost misfire? running rough

[ali-d1936]

Driving today car was fine bogged down once all day kept a eye on the voltage 13.9 and 14.0 v all day just parked up there was running fine when i turned it off, Tryed to start it immidatley after i turned it off and park it in the shed as the wind is unreal here, Tryed to start it and nothing no start-up lights nothing time clock showes on the dash but as i turn the key it goes off and resets itself, lifted the bonnet and the two terminals are on good and tight, cant do anything else till later as i have to keep one hand on the bonnet so it dosnt fly up and smash my windscreen, going to get a new battery as silvertooth said, but cant go anywhere till someone comes home to lift me , and keep a hand on the bonnet while i work.haha. Then ill try the earths aswell.

Any thing else other than battery and earth?

Not sure if the bogging down is related to this anymore but ill wait and See.

Just in its strange as feck went out to take a look didnt touch anything under the bonnet and the fucker started up no bother??? looked at the earth on the engine it looked sound but undid the bolt and gave it a rubs of sandpaper and sticky it back on, wheel arch earth, it looks a lil rusty around the bolt so i tryed to undo it and the bolt snapped... So found Another bolt and a cleaner hole with a bolt welded on the wheel tubb about 4 inches from the old earth, cleaned everything down with sand paper and stuck it all back on so that should be the earths sorted? Might hold off See how this goes and then ill change the battery if it happens again.

Id say the lil miss is a seperate issue? but Im gonna get new plugs 2morrow and See but it dose sound like a coilpack?

Cheers man i had coilpacks go shortly after buying the car 2 years ago, but Im nearly sure it gave no warning signs then it just straight dropped a cylinder, but i might have been unfamilar with the car then and didnt notice the early signs, must get some coilpacks aswell as im sure ill need them again sooner or later.
