Hi all,
I am new on here and new to Fiat. My partner and I have just purchased an R plate Punto, now lovingly christened Penelope – the problem is she doesn’t want to start. Initially the car ran fine, no problems. However, whilst driving the battery light came on and now the car is dead. A turn of the key gets a laboured cough and that’s it! Although the headlights still work!?
Any ideas? Our initial thought is the alternator has gone, although we are far from handy when it comes to cars and we have no clue. Also how difficult would this problem be to fix – expense, time, difficulty in sourcing the parts?
Thanks in advance,
G
