does anyone think the engine is seized?

what does a car sound like and do when it is seized.

will it sound like the starter motor is doing what mine is?

hi guys thanks so far.

WELL!!
can you believe this , after getting towed back last night,
i left the car over night on my drive and this afternoon i stuck jump leads on it.
after 20 minutes leaving it to charge it started....yay u might say lol.

so as im not that lucky i checked the car and ive still got the rear driving lights and brake light on when i start the car..even when front driving lights are turned to off!!!. ive also got another warning lights in place of the engine management light as ive misplaced my handbook i can only describe it to you
circle with a triangle and exclamation mark

what u reckon guys start taking fuses out and go through process of elimination
then if that dont work buy a bigger new battery?

advice on which battery to buy please
can someone tell me where the fuse box is that the handbook says is in the boot......i cant bloody find it.....the handbook said the fuse 56 for the car electric seats was there

ps ive already got the wd40 out and sprayed every connection

thanks guys jay

well for those newbies like myself ,these stilos are a nightmare for having major probs with simple fixes.

just changed my brake sensor on the pedal and guess what no bad codes and car sweet as a nut!!!!

seems these cars only need a single fault and all hell can break loose.

by the way all, thanks for the brilliant advice,NOT!!BACK TO FIATFORUM FOR ME

i always thought enthusiasts helped each other!!!!cya
