Came back from holiday to find my car wouldn't start.
I have replaced the battery but the car still won't start even when we have tried jump starting it! I really don't know if the problem lies with the alternator or starting motor.

Hi there,

The alternator wont stop the car from starting, check that there is power at the starter solenoid when Key at crank, check for any blown fuses or fusible links, start here.
