It seems that I am cursed with this car yet again another issue within a few weeks.

This time problems starting.

When ignition starts the ABS, Wheel, battery, Airbag and seatbelt sign come on. Windows going down slowly and wipers practically crawling.

Ticking sound when trying ignition.

Managed to bump start. Power steering literally impractical and speedometer not working.

Next thing on the list to do..... Does the whurring sound from hood when in 1 to 3rd gear suggest alternator maybe on it's way out.
 
Is the whirring noise related to engine speed or road speed i.e. if you drop the clutch and rev the engine does the noise change? If it's engine speed related then possibly alternator or drive belt related. I've heard they can be unreliable if you use the city button on the steering all the time - do you?

What model and age of GP do you have?
 
Whurring is while driving..... If I drop it into neutral it stops.... Once back in gear if I've dropped the clutch or not I can still hear it faintly.
