Hi everyone

Can anyone help as our galaxy is refusing to start.

Drove fine on friday. Went to start it on sunday morning and fired up and ticked over for a matter of seconds and then died.Restarted it and just did the same and now refuses to start.
So far we have checked the following:
Petrol,Oil
number 30 Relay (tested it switch inside was working fine)
Checked all hoses for splits and no splits were found

We have tried to start the car today with the jump leads and heard a rapid beeping noise along with a sucking noise from underneath the car.

We've only owned the car 6months and has 99k miles on the clock and we've only covered around 5k miles since it was baught

Has anyone else had this problem? and can anyone help?

Thanks in advance :)

are you sure the timing belt hasnt snapped if its refusing to start and the coil pack is fine leads plugs and belt then youre looking at injectors and fuel pump which to be honest could cosdt more than what its worth for this one you really need a mobile mechanic to come to you and look at it as it could be any number of things and so you dont go chucking money at parts that wont fix it youre better having it checked out mate
