    Default she just wont start

    Hey all, any one with some ideas? Basically, I turn the key, it primes (the fuel lines) it try's to turn over, very slowly, then nothing but what seems to be relay ticking.

    On top of this, even though it had half a tank of juice, it now says that it is very low on fuel.

    I have tried reseting the ecu by taking the battery off for a good hour, then reconnecting, nothing. It did start once, ran fine even, so I switched it off and attributed it to a gremlin of some sort, but it's still happening.

    Oh yeah, checked the battery and it'sa fine by the way.

    If you get into the vehicle's data by holdinf the menu and set buttons for 3 seconds while putting the car one click past accessories you shold get a menu. Press menu until you see the battery voltage. It should read just above 12volts for a good battery. Now turn the key to start and see what it drops to, then post here! :P

    And have you got a spare key to try? Try starting with that key too!

    Maybe someone siphoned your fuel? Hence low reading?

    Nah, locked garage minux, but the thought crossed my mind. Turned out to be a dead battery. Volts were just under 12, chucked a new one in, worked like a treat.
