ok i was driving from Para Hills to Marion, which in peak hr traffic is a 1 hr drive i pulled in my driveway and turned the car off, then i had to move it 2 min later, it didn't start i had my neighbor help me push start it and it started... i changed the battery and still nothing??
i opened the fuse box in the engine bay and the ALT fuse (alternator i assume) seems broken lots of parts are rattling inside

Anyone know wat the problem could be??

Edit: Its a 1995 TS Magna V6 Manual

Are you talking about the large fusable links? Could just be the heat and/or age of it.

yeah that thing, but i put my Mums one in there from her V6 TR and it still wouldn't start, its ****ed

Then the alternator may have been screwed as a result. Could also be the starter solenoid.
Is there any noise coming fromt he engine bay when you try to start?

ok it is better now after trying 3 different batteries i got it jump started then drove it around for 30min and it has some charge in it now, thanks for help anyway vlad :)

magnarattis have a bit of a history with poor batteries, make sure any replacement has a big CCA rating :-)

but theres a tone of searchable threads about poor batteries, and the interesting things they cause.
