URGENT: Car won't start. Advice needed please

[Craigh1983]

Just got in my car to find that when I turn the key to start the engine, nothing happens... All I get is a fast clicking noise.

The red display which shows time is very dimly lit and there is a warning light flashing on the dash. It's a red exclamation mark in a circle which is in brackets.

What could have happened????

Thanks

Really? I don't know why tho as the lights were all switched off and so was everything else?

As everyone has said already, its you're battery and its most likely because of the cold. It happen to me as well when i didn't move my car for 3weeks but i put a spare battery on and it was working again like magic

Best thing to do is recharge it if you can for 48hours or buy a new one

Just bought a new battery and having it fitted later on.

Just one question... My battery died again while I was at work and it's completely flat! I have an R-tech stage 1 remap, will that be affected because the battery has been dead all day?

Thanks
