Question

My car (X reg Renault Laguna) won't start again. The car had suddenly lost power and when I turn the ignition to restart the car all it does is make a whining noise (like any ignition firing up) but failing to complete and for the engine to start. What do you think is wrong with the car? And also will it likely to be very expensive to fix?

Answer

I suspect you have a faulty alternater. It does not sound as if it is charging. The next thing to look is the starter itself. Thanks

Is this likely to be expensive to change?

Accepted Answer

I would think 250.00 to 300.00 dollars.
