Vr wont start after gasket change

[YILDI2]

i got my car towed from my mechanic didnt pay him a cent
because they couldnt get it started, they said it was the starter motor they changed it over for another one infront of me still didnt turn on just hear a loud noise not a clicking one and thats it doesnt start, before this they had somehow burnt the wires going from the battery to the starter motor

it would be great if anyone could point out roughly what i need to do to get it going again

thanks





OK UPDATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the engine is seized !, the drive pulley cant be moved back or forth
what i dont understand is how the engine seized after they put the engine back together the car was running, then after they burnt wires engines sezied ? i dont get it, but after some checking out i think the starter motor wires got burnt coz it was touching the extractors, i found melted wire all on it no other way to explain the wires
but how does the engine seize later on after the car had been started and driven round the block

how c an i identify wat part is seized ?

ye mate it was a fully working car with nothing wrong with it drove it to the mechanics was starting aswell after the mls cometic head gaskets were put in aswell, but after they got the wires in flames from the battery to the starter motor it doesnt crank i think is the right word thanks patskies

[YILDI2]

get them to replace the wiring they damaged

the damaged wiring is replaced and they also chucked in another starter motor from the wreckers still didnt start
thats when i decided i had enough and towed it home

[patskies]

run a dianostics test.

and check all fuses.

If you are handy with a multimeter check your voltages and the starter

[YILDI2]

i cant do the diagnostics test on mine for somereason
but ill deff do the rest
thanks mate

thanks for that, i will try having alook at all that tommorow

and the lights dont turn on mate hazards do, but no headlights no dash lights

when i try and start it its like theres a noise coming from the alternator
its not the sound the car makes when its low on battery like rewwrewwrewww when trying to start it
turn the key car turns a lil and stop with the noise from the alternator i mentioned

ok guys update.. ive been waiting on a auto electricial hopefully get him to have a look asap, the battery is a 100% okay, but head lights, speedo, dash lights etc dont work, hazards do and sounds system work aswell
im guessing they have messed up the car real good, is it possible my ecu could be damaged ? as it is lying on the floor of the passenger seat ( HOW I GOT IT OFF THEM ) they have wrecked a memcal that i got of delcowizzid aswell, not happy, and ive find some burnt wires in the car too that they missed when cleaning ill upload a picture

[Chrispy]

Checked the wiring to the alternator?

[mug1000]

might sound weird but have you replaced the crank angle censor at any stage

[JAAV]

Light speedo and dash lights arent controlled by the ECU

Strip the engine and look for the damaged parts,probably main and big end bearings.They usually go first unless it gets heaps hot and lets go at high revs,then the pistons,rings, and the cylinder walls, all get damaged as well as the bearings.

thanks brett_jjj
im thinking of getting a gregorys manual and stripping the engine down, i was just worried i wont be able to identify the main cause possibly wont stick out to the untrained eyes, and while im at it might aswell put in some forged internals but thats after i can find whats stuffed

pull the spark plugs and wind it over...if the head gaskets were changed its possible they didnt seal and water has filled the cyls...cometic gaskets are damn expensive as well hope that isnt the prob...
