I went to go out in my car last night and it wouldnt start..At 1st i thought it was my battery so i put it on re-charge,so this morning i put it back on and it would turn over just made 1 clicking noise everytime i turned the key...Is it the starter motor..

Took a video of it on my phone...u can hear the clicking and it not turning over

The click should be the relay.

Seems to me like the starter motor is buggered.

sounds to me like the solenoid istnt engaging the starter motor (by the description, havnt heared the vid)

everything else ok? try putting blowers, headlights and wipers on at the same time, see if they work normally. if they go slow and die it could be the battery

Yeah....But the batterys dies

Did you watch the video..?
the headlight wont come on and it dims the dash lights and they slowly fade away.Ive but the battery back on charge and il try again later.see what happens but i would of thought there was enough power in the batter to turn it over...

Why does it just click and not turn over?

cant watch the vids in work....

sounds like a dud battery. the starter clicking is the solenoid trying to engage the starter pinion.

well it could be either but if everything else is dying as well then its likely to be the battery.

dont buy a makro battery, get a genuine vaux item. only £35 and very good.

Mine did this a few weeks ago and it turned out to be the battery. Battery is cheaper than starter motor so try that first. The way I narrowed it down to be the battery rather than the starter was to see if I could jump start (not bump start) my car. It jump started ok so that ruled the starter out!
