Another non-starter

Holy Count · 6th June 2012, 08:24

Went to move the Rover this morning and when turning the key all I get is a rapid clicking and the headlights come on ( although switched off ). IPK is out at the moment, so don't know what that would have been showing.

Any ideas ? Drowned ECU ? What to do ?

Classic Flat Battery signs. Put the battery on charge and you should be fine. Could be time for a new battery if the car is used regularly and you're getting this problem.

Thanks for that .... doh ..... after reading about ecu problems and the like I went straight into "panic, it's dead" mode and completely forgot basics! Was thrown by the lights coming on.

I'll get me charger out :-)
