Rather than flat it's probably gone dead cell hence the no start from a jump.

I forgot that piece, but quite possible

The car is a 2001 model. So are the fuse's at the back?

Have a look from 20-80 in the link, you have several

I can't see it being a fuse as the starter attempts to operate. Also is there a fuse on the starter circuit.?

I got caught out on this fuse one, on another thread somewhere

Vita · 20-09-2007, 06:33 PM

I do hear a clicking sound probably 3-4 clicks when I turn the key to position 3. Ain't had a chance yet to go out and have a look.

Do not forget to do the test with headlamps on, as above

Vita · 20-09-2007, 06:39 PM

Yeah I will. It's strange that all of a sudden its stopped.

Hey guys, some good news,

Earlier on in the day, I checked the fuse box at the front of the car, and everything seemed fine. Made sure no fuses were loose and started the car with the bonnet open, I got nothing.

So I had to go out, and went using public transport. My uncle came while I was out, and he opened the bonnet, started the car and it did it first time round. Driving like a dream, so don't know what happend. Maybe it wasn't in the mood to be driven.

Anyway, all is good and I save some money

Thanks for all the help.

Problems that go away on their own do not generally stay gone for long
