Now whats wrong?

<< < (2/3) > >>

ian_s:
put a voltmeter across the battery terminals, should be 12 volts *at least*
the try the same across the starter solonoid terminals, should be almost the same.

Range Rover Blues:
I also try a voltmeter between the battery earth and the engine block.  Make sure the starter is fastened on tight and try the same from the positive to the starter.  Obviously you need an assistent to crank the engine whilst you check.

More simply though, have you treied a jump start?

--- Quote from: "mark.yellow.series.3" ---clicking noise is definatly the voltage at the starter is to low.
this can be caused by, a bad earth, poor cables ( the big fat cables), or the battery and/or charging system.

yeah what he said!

but if you've only just got it back it might be a low voltage on the battery it self?

 as above, defo worth charging the battery fully on a battery charger first.

Thanks for all the help lads :) I'l buy a charger tommorow and see what happens.

Right charged the battery and all seems fine so far. I'l see over the next few days whether the battery discharges itself. If it does then i can atleast be safe in the knowledge that i have a bad earth.
