Just parked and every thing was normal. 45 mints later, tried to start on with no luck? the car just went silent all of a sudden! thought it was battey failliar so I did connect the battery to another car's
the car started with things going wrong like warning lights, no radio, Safe, check, and runs no faster than 10km/hr. and when switched off, did not start again. so amazing, what is going on? Please help

Sorry but a little confused with what you are saying.  Do you mean that the engine won't turn, the lights do not come on, and indeed nothing works in your car?? :-? :-?

But when the battery is in another car, the engine does turn but very poorly, and the lights/radio are all acting "strange"??  (Have you connected the battery correctly in this car?) :-? :-?

Think he means he jump started it by connecting to another car's battery.

A bit confused with what you have described, but are you saying when the battery is in your car nothing works?? :-? :-?   Engine won't turn and no lights, radio or anything else?? :-? :-?

In your other car everything is working "strange"?? ( Have you connected the battery correctly in this car??) :-? :-?

yeh, is it a battery failiar?
how can I get my car running

Th Radio displaying Safe just means the battery has been disconected, and you will need to put in the code, which is on your car pass. Are any of the warning light flashing ?, the one with a spanner thro a car symbol?.

Sound's to me like the fusible link has come addrift.
Look at both battery terminals and see if they are tight .

That does sound like a possible fault to me given the facts

Could be the crankshaft sensor. They do tend to go without warning.

But why would lights etc not be working if it was the crank sensor? :-?

Sounds to me like a totally electrical problem.

No mention of lights not working

Yes that was first implied and then confirmed by him in answer to my questioning post.   Hence Iain's post requesting he check battery connections.
