I came out. To my car this morning turned the key and nothings . No clicking no stuttering nothing. It just won't start at all. The engine diagnostic light is on ad the battery light. The radio is on the lights the wipers but no a/c. Is it the battery or something worse?

#9: Re: Dead car Author: Zoomy, Location: The NetherlandsPosted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 3:54 am ---- ...I'd say an almost fully drained battery hence the missing relay click...Do the lights on the dash come on...?

#13: Re: Dead car Author: alexthekid, Location: Dewsbury Nr leedsPosted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 6:05 am ---- Don't think it's the battery. My dad came to mine and we tried to jump it but nothing happened at all. After the day I had yesterday this really did top it off!!

#23: Re: Dead car Author: TieBreakGreen, Location: EpworthPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:49 pm ---- anyone feel free to jump in and correct me if the Pug setup is different but when I had this on my fiat it was a sticky starter solenoid. Fantastic thing to go, just an intermittent fault reliably solved (temporarily) by smacking it with a hammer. Deeply satisfying and manly solution to the problem.
