Evening all
The Wifes (older) car is stuck on the other side of our estate parked up after visiting a friend. The day previous she had complained that it hadn't started when all the lights were on and she tried a few more times then it started. It had already had an issue with the battery.
So last night i went across and tried to start it, there was an error showing on the dash saying fuel cut off unavailable. I've fitted a new battery tonight. The earth strap had been replaced within the past few weeks. Car still wont start. No errors on dash
Key in lights on and then off no errors showing turn key....there is a slight whine from the starter motor and then a clicking noise from what i presume to be the fuel pump - but engine doesn't turn and no 'crank'.
The car has previously had hatch wiring issues, but these were rectified - being a 500c only 7 wires to the rear hatch, no issues since.
My copy of MES is on a laptop that basically has a knackered battery - its charging now and ill go back across in a bit but im a little bit stuck....
So after ideas please
