crank crank .....

My engine cannot start with brake warning light, oil pressure warning light, battery charge warning light and malfunction indicator light(MIL) on. I just change my battery few month ago. 2 day ago, the engine already need to crank many time to start. That time, the word "P" next to the fuel gauge is missing half of the word and the last line(empty line) of the fuel gauge disappear but the few line above it is on(my car still got half tank of petrol). What could have gone wrong? Please help!

Worn-out alternator can consume the battery life quickly.

If the battery is still charging, check the starter. I had to change mine last month, a few months after changing the battery.

How much for the starter?

I'm not sure about Viva. Mine is a Hyundai Matrix. The new one costs RM750. I opted for a recond unit which costs RM350.
