As the title says, I've just gone out to take her for a spin, keys in the ignition, lights etc come on, I hit the push start and I hear a really fast kind of ticking sound?

Managed to get a short vid of it (if it works!) [media]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14445742/S2K%20Issue.MOV[/media]

I'm thinking starter motor but could be wrong? Any help would be appreciated

Battery/immobiliser I think.

 

Ticking sound is usually the starter motor solenoid failing to engage, 99% of the time this is due to a low battery. Try giving it a charge and see the starter turns correctly. If your losing that much charge in 5 days however, it may be worth looking at replacing the battery.

 

Appreciate the responses guys So hopefully not as bad as I thought then. I'm going to give the battery a charge, how long's best to leave it charging, overnight?

 

Yea low battery, you could probably just give it an hour and itl charge when it fires up, if you don't want to use it tonight just leave it overnight.
