#1: 1.1 LX Won't Start ! Author: KyleHaich, Location: Airdrie, Scotland.Posted: Sat May 14, 2011 7:55 am ---- I tried to start my car this morning and the engine doesn't turn over, its as if my battery is flat but I bought a new battery last week and hadn't fitted it yet, so I tried starting it from that battery too but it still does the same, the only difference is with the new battery I can hear a clicking noise when turning the ignition but with the old battery I can hear the engine turning over once, then nothing, any help would be greatly appreciated
