Hello all,

I've done a quick search for this but couldn't find anything. My S won't start. When I turn the key in the ignition, everything lights up on the dash as well as the internal light on the ceiling. However, when I hit the Engine Start button, all I get is a loud clicking noise and nothing happens.

Has anyone any ideas what might be causing this? If it's battery related, I wouldn't expect all of the dash lighting to come on. Immobiliser maybe?!?

 

if it is a clicking sound when you press the button it is the battery - you will need to recharge/replace/jump

They discharge quite readily if not used regularly

 

Defo the battery

 

Been there done that. It's the battery.

 

Thanks for the quick responses. Very relieved that it's only that. I only have the thing about a month! Will get onto the good folk of Halfords for a replacement.

Cheers again...

 

Might be worth recharging instead (unless it is the original) Even though the battery is new on mine, if I don't use for weeks/months it can discharge and all it needs is a quick charge...

 

If halfords, get the HD053, not the HD057. Halfords have their data wrong. The batteries are pretty much the same except the terminals are the wrong way round!

it is only the battery as everyone has already said. your solenoid is going (the clicking) but there's not enough power to turn her over.

i got a hellfrauds one the other week, it was about
