FTO AUSTRALIA

So once again, my car wont start. This time I have no idea what it is, was working perfect this morning but went to it at lunch and tried to unlock it with the remote centrol locking as usual, it beeped but didnt unlock..... The LED light with the alarm wasnt flashing or doing anything out of the ordinary so I dont think it was activated.

Tried to start the car and my alarm sounded, then when I took the keys out of the ignition and it continued to sound but really quietly. Then checked the battery and it read 0. Now nothing was left on and this is a brand new battery so we are thinking alternator or the alarm system is fried....any help?

p.s hope this all makes sense...

check battery, and alt, sounds like battery died

So we just jump started it and took it to the auto electrician and the battery didnt charge at all which means its probably the alternator.

He will take it out and have a look at it and see if it is that if not the hunt to the real issuee starts So a couple of questions:

1 How much is a new alternator?
2 If it turns out not to be an alternator, what else could it be?

it will be alt, they cost about 200ish i think

are you GR or GPX?

oh sh*t soph
this is why i havnt seen u out lately hopefully u get the car fixed soon

well good luck
xo

nah this only happened today at lunch time, I havent been out much cause too much stuff to do.

Yeap I hope it get it back before the w/e but I doubt it, I sooo cant afford this right now

Yeah definitly alternator.

DANG I wish cars wernt so expensive

How much do they cost? Does anyone have one they would like to sell

GR or GPX.....They are different.

Its a GR

We if you can get a second hand you can get them for around $100.
Getting your one recond anywhere from $250-$800. Yes some people have been charged that much. Dont let this happen to you lol.
Brand new, i think dstocks said he could get them for a couple hundred but dont quote me on that casue im drunk, but you may have to wait a few weeks

Drunk ? At 2:30? hahaha wish my Fridays were that fun so early
I will wait and see how much this guy tries to charge me first but thanks for the info

I paid $260.00 for rebuild and labour. So anything more than $350.00 is a rip.

Sophia, I'll gladly sell you my second hand one. $90 + postage sound fair?

Sounds pretty fair to me

Give me like an hour or two to just talk to the auto electrician first and see if he will fix it for a carton of beer like he has with other stuff, if not ( ) consider it sold

okie doke, so it took me a little longer then 2 hours to get back to you lol sorry
The guys is going to do it pretty cheap so I wont need your after all. but thanks for letting me know you had one
