Battery problems, leading to others?

[16vmantamark]

Came outside this morning, flat battery.

Balls.

ok, no probs, walked up the road, bought a new battery for 25 quid, came back, fitted it, it strted first time, wooooo!

Went inside, had lunch, came outside, started car, coughed & spluttered, chucked a bit of smoke out the back, then cut out.

Crap.

Tried to start it again & its just a high pitched whine, dont know how else to describe it?

Thought it sounded like it could be the started not engaging, so got the hammer out & gave it a bit of a bash a few times.

No joy.

So, is it the starter? and if it is, why would that make the car splutter & cut out the first time?

I dont get it, but i need to get up and running asap as i have loads to do!

Help!

The whine could be the starter/solaniod.

If maybe the starter has jammed it may have jammed in the engaged position?

Complete guess, possible though, maybe?

EDIT~

how the hell you spell solanoid, solonoid...

Timing belt snapped (no compression)?

Sorted it, was the starter.

Put it in 1st, handbrake off, rocked car back & forth to disengage the starters solenoid.

Start car, weyhey, splutters a bit, then fine.

How odd.

Going to replace all the earth staraps when i get a chance too.
