Took my mum out somewhere before...came back home. Nipped inside to grab something and left the car running.

Came back out, went for a drive and then came in, let it tick over to cool down then switched off.

Realised I had to move it so my dad could get his car in...turned the key to start...and nothing. No click, no sounds, no turnover...nothing at all.

HELP me

 

Hot and bothered starter motor. Probably on it's way out and could do with a heat shield.

So have you bought one now then?

 

Yes i've got one- and i've broke it already obviously


Reckon that's what it is....? Should I try it again in a bit when it's cooled down?

 

same thing happened to me 2 days ago and it was the alternator

 

Just started it and it started up fine...so i'll see how it is tomorrow....

ta guys

 

Just incase it doesn't work or you experience the problem again let me know and I'll show you a way you can get the car started

And no I'm not a car thief.

 

I had a fiesta turbo and had 5 alternators on it, that could be one option or the starter as another.

You can discount the starter by push starting it, if it fires up and runs as normal its probably that

When my alternators used to go it would run rough then just stall.

 

it sounds like the solenoid or loose wire going to the solenoid
