Hi guys,
I've just been out to my car and it wont start nor even turn over.
When I got in the car I put the clutch down and put it in neutral and at the same time I turned the ignition key. The engine turned over for a split second and then I heard a rather loud bang which sounded like it came more from the left hand side of the car.
I thought it was because I didn't have it fully out of gear when I turned the key and maybe it stalled so I turned it again and the engine will not even turn over.
I thought it may be the battery but it is fairly new and my radio, speakers, sub and amps work fine.
However when I turn the key I don't hear anything at all like the clicking noise it usually makes when its trying to start.
I have looked on other threads and tried what Ziggy122 suggested with rocking the car in gear and then trying to start but to no avail.
If anybody can help me out words cannot describe how appreciative I would be as I love my Punto
Thanks
Ash
