Hi

I wonder if anybody could help me please?

My car's engine management light came on about a week ago, but the car was still running as normal, until the other day when the car refused to start, i eventually got the car going but once it had started it was making a loud rattling noise which became even louder also it startid making a loud scraping noise, i went to start my car this miorning and the loud noise was there again but my power steering has now failed, i cant even move the steering wheel, well i can a little bit but its mega mega stiff?

Has anyone got any ideas what could be wrong?

Cheers

Daniel

the crank pully has failed. the crank will be spinning round inside the pully so you will have no drive to your power steering pump or alternator hence the non start (flat battery). you need one of these.
