Hi all. Just bought used M-S Forte 1.6hdi 2006.Lovely to drive. Went in for full service, drove home and car will not even turn over completely cut out... Diagnostics said take off battery leads for 20 minutes reconnect. It worked. 2 more days same thing again. Would not turn over completely dead. This time battery disconnection did not work. Diagnostics said try other key and it worked. Remote locking locks but has never unlocked. Now going through test the keys to see if they work and then engine diagnostics. No fault codes coming up. HELP.......!!!!!!!!

When you turn your key for start and you hear only "click" then your starter motor is bad or your battery is bad.
Try with new battery if that does not help then you have to replace starter motor graphite bushes.

Thank you for advice. Bypassed battery and that did not work. There is no click..it is just dead. Will try the starter motor.
Thanks

You can bang it hard with hammer. After that if it turns and starts the motor
then definitely it's the graphite brushes.
