Hey,
Have you tried a spare key (if you have one) your key batt might be flat, try that and see how you go. Or clean the connection bw the nobby thing on the key next to the blade and the metal it touches on the ignition for the immobiliser - hope that helps mate

Gday 21AZE it could still be flat battery as all lights and accessories dont need much power to be on i have had these probs before and battery didnt have enough to start car so for me the best investment was a battery charger not expecive and will let you know how much charged it has hope it helps

I would put the battery on a charger. If you fully charge the battery and it still clicks - starter motor.

Also it may pay to check that the cables are tight on the battery and not corroded. If you can move them by hand they are not tight enough.
