Argh! Car Won't Start

[shredder667]

this is what i get for leaving it for a week. what is it again, when the car makes that rapid tapping sound? kinda like a little machine gun?

[steven22]

Its either not enough charge in the battery or its the starter motor making that noise

[shredder667]

thats right, starter motor. i'll keep charging the battery then and see how i go. cheers!

Sounds like starter motor if its making a metallic tapping sound...charging wont fix a dodgy starter motor - try hitting the starter motor with a spanner/hammer.

Your battery just needs a charge if you left for a week and now it doesn't start. Charge it up and see how it goes.

Roll it down the rd and pop the clutch ..

yeah man it's nothing major just battery get one of your knucklehead friens to give you a jump lead or start

It's more fun if you pull off the starter and get a reco

[red_screamer]

nah it'll only be the battery as when its low on charge it pulls in the solioned on the starter rapidly then stopes charge it up or clutch start it and drive for about 30 mins or something should get neough charge in it for a drive... but u prob should get ur battery seen to if its gone flat after a week
