Car won’t start

Kia Sportage 2012 1.6 petrol  114000 miles
The oil light is on, and the car bump starts. But when you use the key to start the car, it dosent. We’ve changed the starter motor and got a new oil fuse. But still nothing. Any one had any similar problems

Air conditioning compartment/Overheating

Kia Sportage 2003 Manuel 20000 miles
We brought our Kia 6 months ago and now its broken down. It started from making funny noises to overheating,not starting and their is no air conditioning compartment to help the fans cool the motor down. We were using nearly 4litres of oil in one to two weeks and filling the radiator 3 times a day and that still never helped as it still overheated,we used up a four litre coolant on an hours drive and still overheated. Then it started playing up by not starting. I honestly do not recommend buying a Kia as it has given me problems from the day I brought it.
