could be a f*cked starter??

get somebody to turn the key while you listen, see if it's the starter that's clicking.

If it is the starter clicking it could just be a blown fuse for the fule pump...happened to me. good luck

oh, just another thing, brand new batteries are usually only charged about half.

i had the same problem, i had to get a booster box on it. all the lights etc were fine, just not enough power to turn the starter.

check the earth to the starter first before you change it!!! I thought mine was broke (clicking away and nor starting even with a booster pack etc

What engine came out? What engine went in? Straight swap like for like?
