nackerz said it only clicks
hows the battery if it just clicks could be dead battery.
possibly be starter motor

typical of a dead battery, try jumping it.

wheres maisy at?
sorry havnt been able to get on the net....it makes a single click when i turn the key on sorry for not bein here to reply
its not the battery or the starter it makes a single click when i turn the key is it like an immobilizer thats cutting the power to it?
check the relay to the starter or the connections to it, I had a similar problem i just jump started it and it was sweet. My VK did a single click and yea. Immobilizer... don't know, most people when wiring just hook it up to the ignition wire in the steering column. So i wouldn't make a click noise, wouldn't make a noise full stop. I'm guessing that if the battery is full charged and the starter works. then, check the relay. that Click your hearing could be from that.
Your starters ****ed. Get someone to have the key turned while you hit the starter motor with a stick or pole. I bet it will start. Mine is the same.

And just thought i would add, on my vl the battery went dead tried jump starting it but no go, so i took the battery out and threw a good one in turned the key and started straight away!
my vl didnt start for 2 years when i bought it, check all relays and your connections, then have a look at your engine ground. might be a good idea to change the battery also.
hopefully would have been started by now its been 2 years !

I took my battery leads off because I wanted to crimp some proper ends onto my wires for my amp etc, and after putting it all back on, sometimes when I turn my key the car just does 1 single click, then I have to pop the hood and wiggle my negative terminal a bit, then the car starts, so try doing that as well.
