   Hi Guys n girls
   2002 saxo furio.Battery kept going flat even to the stage when i put a fully charged one on it would flatten it in minutes ! turned out to be the alternator.have replaced the alternator but now it will not even turn over.Ignition lights come on but when i turn key to start all that happens is that the relay under the dash by the fuse box clicks.
   Does something need resetting ?
   Cheers all

   Is the battery your using old and does the car actually turn over, or does the starter just click ( just so i kno if there is a starter fault or not), running a battery until it goes flat then recharging and then running it flat again too often can cause them to be in efficient so could be time for a new battery
