reppiz Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 No warning lights are up but I've just put my key in, instrument panel fine, turn to the second ignition position and nothing car just chugs once and dies, so no turning over.. Steering stiff last night for a moment, turbo died last week..I'm not having much luck :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reppiz Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 sould like a duff battery to me I hope you're right mate, its been one thing after the other. Just before the turbo died it was making this strange kind of hairdryer sound and I've only just got it back and can hear it still doing it a bit around 2,000 revs..Aargh!!!

Bigdaddycain Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Im a bit surprised the battery light on the dash wasn't glowing if the alt had dies, they rearely fail just like that, and usually fail gradually... If the car has been off the road for a while it's not that surprising to hear the battery wasn't 100%. Sorry to hear you've had a few problems with the motor... They say bad luck comes in 3's... Turbo, then steering, now the alternator, that's all 3 things, so she should be good to go now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
