HELP!!!! Please.........
Any suggestions would be great!!
I am a mechanical numpty & i just rolled my car out the garage as I'm going to Cadwell tomorrow, to top up the petrol & give it a wipe
over. Tried to start it up & all i got was a clicking sound coming from the starter area, then no sound at all when i push the starter
It is a new battery....is it flat? Is the starter shagged??
I'm desperate as it is my 1st trackday in over 2 years & really, really looking forward to it
I WILL get out again!!
I have a little bit......need more......

Sounds like a flat battery to me. That or a bad earth somewhere. I'd go with the battery though.

yep sounds like a typical flat battery. Just jump it of your tintop and leave it running for a little while.

jump start or push down a hill should sort it. i'd try the jump start first, coz if you push it down the hill, and somethings really wrong, then
you're stuck :p

If it's a new battery, did you tighten the terminals properly ?
