Hi everyone,
As I don't have any friends who are mechanics and before I go to garage, I would like to gain some advice from you lovely people.
Today I drove to work just fine but unfortunately I could not start my car on a way back! I put my key in to the ignition and nothing happens, no noise from the engine NOTHING. The radio and the lights are working fine, all electrics inside the car is working perfectly fine. On the dashboard though I noticed two errors: fuel cut off - unavailable and abs unavailable. After checking handbook, I followed the steps of the reset after an accident (that I did not have) but no luck. My colleague helped with unplugging and plugging again the battery but still nothing! I managed to drive home after a push start but right after getting home, turning engine off I could yet again not switch it back on...
I asked my neighbour to use jump start thinking it could be a battery but this has done nothing at all. No noise, no movement, no nothing...
Could anyone advise what it could be? I would like to have some knowledge before I go to a mechanic to not to get ripped off... Or is there anything I could try myself?
Many thanks for your replies.
