Hi,
I was driving my car to my mechanics this evening when all of a sudden my ignition light came on and my engine cut out. I then kick started the engine again whilst i rolling to a stop and then it briefly came back to life and then made a whirring sound and black smoke and a few sparks came out of my exhaust (girlfriend driving behind), for it to die shortly after.
Some days proir to this my battery appeared to be getting lower and lower on power until it had no juice left. When I tried to start the engine the ignition gave a small sign of life and then died and made a clicking sound. As a result of this i contacted my mechanic and got the engine running with jump leads only for the above to happen on the way there.
Any ideas what this may be
Considering my battery is brand new!
Have I fu%*Ked my engine up in the process or is this a common igition problem that can be fixed.
Please help
:cry:
