flat battery I would suggest. Not enough power to turn it over. Get a jump start on there or a portable battery pack and see if it turns over then.

 

with jump starter, it will start first time, trust me.

 

however, your better off charging it for a little while,

 

you dont want to get going, park somewhere, and on return

 

have the same problem

indeed. I carry a portable jump start with me at all time because my car spends so much time with a run down battery.

 

It can also take quite a long journey to get a really decent charge in to the battery so make sure you give it a good run before parking it up again.

I've had a similar problem for the last week or so intermittently but im fairly sure its not the battery. I just get one tick (sometimes not even that) and then if I try and start it again it usually works second time, no problem.

On thursday it did take 3 or 4 attemps (turn on, nothing, turn off, repeat) until it started. Could this be a dodgy starter motor?

more than likely it is the starter then.

I had this 'exact' problem on my old NA mate. It turned out that one of the connectors to the battery was loose.

 

Simply tightened the loose connector, and bingo.

 

Might be worth trying the connectors and making sure they are clean and tight, especially if the battery is charged properly...
