Reversed the car off the drive today to clean it. All OK. Got back in to put it back. Wont start! When I press
the starter, there is a ticking noise from the relay, and (now to describe it! ) a knock, knock, knock,
as if the engine is turning a few degrees at a time, which my 'observer' agrees with. Should not be a flat battery,
new last year. Its never happened before.....Any ideas! 2013 Dynamic Santorini black

A new battery can go flat, especially if stood around not been driven

Try charging it Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'm a great believer in putting the battery on a smart charger now and again hope charging yours sorts the problem,loose connections can also cause this kind of problem.

Thanks chaps! sorted, it was the battery. I will leave it on charge over night now.  2013 Dynamic Santorini black
