Well my professional opinion is that...its broken BUT dont worry you can drive it to the nearest garage and fix it.

your starter's bust... could be caused by dragging from your clutch (hence the noises when you're driving)

Your car is evidently feeling moody. Thus, as a professional in this field, I suggest giving her a nice firm kick in the <withheld>, and failing that, there was never any harm done with a hammer (Except tht ONE time in the ONE movie to about 13 clueless teenagers).

its ok my mechanic is a good man, he found a second hand one that he is putting in for me.
this is the first honest mechanic i know

A wire came loose last year and my car was cutting out

he replaced the wire and asked for R13 to pay for said wire :)
