No problem with the car yesterday, wouldn't open or start this morning. Jump leads on, eventually starts but soon cuts out. All kinds of lights on dash ( traction control, abs, brakes etc ), steering locked solid.

Any ideas other than battery not bening charged ?

Thanks

If you have a 9-3 1.9tid then im almost sure its your alternator. They are common for going and it would give the problems u are having. Hope this helps
