HELP - my car has died
13 Answers
Im at work and my car alarm was sounding once every minute so I went outside to look. The engine was chugga chugga'ing (even though its just parked there) and the alarm was still going off every minute just once.
I tried to use my key pad but it didnt work, so I opened door with the key. Now everything is dead, no engine turnover, nothing.
Anyone good with cars?

Sounds like it has been immobilised as it was probably locked with the key fob but unlocked with the key. Sometimes the key fob needs resetting. With mine I have to hold down the unlock button for 5 seconds and then tap it once or twice, or maybe the batteries are dead. Even though a light may show when you press it, it may not have enough juice to do the job.
After replacing batteries you may have to do the 5 second thing to get it to work.

No its been in my view all day.
I havent unlocked it with the key.
It was sounding one blast of the alarm so I went out to look and the engine was making this noise.
When I went to use the key fob, it didnt work and so I unlocked with the key and now nothing works.
I think the alarm sound was a kind of warning about something about to pack up.
