Hi!!

The clicking you are hearing, is the sound of a weak battery, Jump start the vehicle and take it to an AutoZone for a Charging System check.

Good Luck!!

The clicking sound is your starter solenoid trying to activate with low voltage from the battery. Check your battery and charging system, then, make sure the bterry terminals are clean.

    sorry to poke my nose in but, had the same problem with my 25, tried bump starting to avail, told a mechanic friend about it and he had a pink fit, " DONT EVER..EVER TRY TO BUMP START A ROVER 25 CAN DO ALL SORTS OF DAMAGE" !? car still wont start after a new battery and alternator, will try cleaning the terminals as suggested above altho they do look pretty clean

    And your mechanic is right, there is a BIG difference between Jump Start and Bump Start. What did your mechanic said about the no start problem?? Is the starter cranking up?

No bus,after battery died,2006 dodge srtatus

The Battery has gone flat. When you tried to jump start it, this did not change the battery state its still flat.
I bet you will get the same code on the scanner if you remove the battery. Take the battery out and charge it with a battery charger overnight, then try it again.

Bmw 5 series wont start

This can be due to a weak battery. The Antitheft can sometimes create starting problems by interferring with the starter. The Antitheft senses the Voltage drop as a theft attempt and reduces the starter Voltage in an attempt to keep you from starting the vehicle.

You can get a free test at Autozone, Oreilys, and Advance. Some will instal a battery free.

My rover 45 wont start when i turn the key it makes a screaching noise and wont fire up / petro /51 /52 plate

It is possible that this Range Rover is misfiring and needs a change of sparkplugs if it is screatching it is trying to start but cannot due to misfiring. If the plugs are good check the gapping on each pluf.
