Sorry i wrote this with a hot head and englis is not my first laguage.

The noise it makes its not the engine turning over its like a krrrrrrrrrrrr but very low and its coming from near the fuse box in the engine. Also i taped on top of one of the fuses and the istrument lights came back on after i tried to start the car and it all died again dont know if it is the batery or an electrical probem. The batery is the original 6 years or so old what i find strange is the car alwais started on first try whith no problems .

Thank you for your help in advance

it looks like the Battery has died at all -- this krrrrr noise looks like relay noise when very slow el signal comes from alternator.

check with density of Battery acid -- but be ready for worse cos 6 years is due. normally 3-5 years is OK. besides just to be sure check with charging current/voltage coming fromo an alternator/rgrds
