It now refuses to start, just before I want to go and visit my gf in hospital!!!

All it does a make one clicking noise when you turn the key and then nothing.

Any ideas? I only have a 1 hour slot to go see my gf before the nurses get arsey about visiting times.

either a flat battery or knackered starter motor

I think the battery is fine as the clock doesnt fade when you turn the key. Anyway to check if its the starter motor?

[Mr Blue]

when u turn the key get someone to rock the car with it in gear. Worked for me once.
or give it a wack with a hammer

Sounds like the starter.  Sometimes when they are on the way out the "brushes" get stuck out of place, and then the knock from the hammer sorts it for a little while.  Has the engine been turning over slowly before firing of late?

Well turned out it did start with a jump start, which I was highly greatful for. Very odd tho as the battery didnt seem to be completely flat, as I said the clock didnt fade when I turned the key and the radio still worked fine and hadnt switched on to demo mode as it usually does after a flat. Also have no idea what would have drained the battery.

I really am getting tired of my car forever being broken, if I had any money I'm getting to the point where I'd just pay someone to sort everything out, which isnt like me as I love to do the work myself. Its just one thing after another with only a few days break before something else breaks.
