Wondering if anyone could chime in with some advice or even recommend a good mobile mechanic in the East Belfast area to help with my dads car which wont start?
Car is a 2000 Citroen Xsara 1.6 Petrol. Car was starting fine and only recently it had the odd time where it was cranking a bit chuggy and slow to fire up but once it did it started grand again if i turned the car off and restarted straight away.
It had a new battery about 3 months ago, electrics all fine and work ok so I dont think its the battery. Ignition lights come on when I turn the key but then when I turn the key further to start the car there is only a short buzz but theres no crank or noise from the starter at all. Even tried the spare key but same scenario.
Any idea what the issue may be, starter motor seized?
