[Commodore_Babe]

Electrical come on, but when i turn the key fully it makes a clicking noise and the electrical s click as well, the fan belt rotates slightly. headlights ect come on. the engine doesnt kick over at all.
Any ideas??

Cheers

looks like you have a flat battery..

[Sgt Santa Cruz]

Yeah flat battery and or bad starter motor

[Commodore_Babe]

but all the electrical s and lights are working
there is a clicking noise coming from under the bonnet, its constant when the key is fully turned
are there any other possibilities?

[falcomwreck]

the clicking noise is coming from the starter motor, they make that noise when there is not enough amps in the battery to turn it.. Oh there is one other thing, check the earth lead that connects between the motor and the body, sometimes where it bolts to the engine the bolt comes loose and it looses its connection causing the starter to click..

flat battery, water pump, or starter motor.

most likely flat battery though mate, just give it a jump start, let it run for like 5 mins, then you should be fine.

[Commodore_Babe]

turned out it is the battery got a jump from a mate and now its fine
havent had a flat battery in that long forgot what it was like lol
Thanks guys!

Listen to what these guys said. It is either the starter motor or you have a flat battery.

It takes a lot of power to turn the starter motor over. Just because the headlights come on and the radio works, doesn't mean the battery isn't the problem.

Good luck

EDIT: 4 minutes too late, now I just look silly - well sillier than normal. Must learn to type faster.
