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

your battery has gone flat

Really? I don't know why tho as the lights were all switched off and so was everything else?
-
battery may have gone bad especially in this cold weather.. how olds the battery?
i would 100% say batterys flat
-
Yep it's dead alright. Mum has given me a jump start and it's working again. New battery I think then!
-
Yeh deffo symptoms of a dead battery!!

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 :happy2:
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

No it won't be affected only revo maps need resetting
