Hi all
My Punto Sporting (54 reg) has been sat idle for some time and I just could not get it to start, I eventually burnt out the starter motor..ugh
Had a guy out and we couldn't even bump start it on a tow and he has said it appears that as well as the Starter Motor problem, the Alternator has seized and the belt is pretty much shot too.
Is this going to be an expensive fix? I can get a brand new starter motor for £90 odd so that's ok but wondering what sort of work it entails having it fixed on as well as a new alternator + belt and having that removed and replaced.
It's a second car for us but the missus loves it and doesn't want to let it go and I'm happy enough to spend a bit on it but was wondering what sort of costs I'm looking at.
Thanks all
