Hi all!
New here, looking to get some help before giving up and taking car to garage/Fiat.
I have a 06 Grande Punto which apart from a few cosmetic scuffs was in good working order. On Friday I drove to work as normal but when I got in my car at 5pm, I turned the key in the ignition and the car turned on i.e electrics, stereo and hot/cold air all were working fine. Then when I turned the key again nothing happened whatsoever.
I called my insurance and the recovery guy came helped me bump the car and diagnosed it as the starter motor. I don't know much about cars but took his advice, went to Euro Car Parts and bought a new one which with the help of an experienced friend, we fitted yesterday.
To no avail the car still won't start. :bang: Do you guys have any advice? The only other thing we tried was trying a new fuse for the starter motor which also didn't work.
Thanks in advance!
Ben
