Nothing out of the ordinary judging by the title.

Basically it wont start atall. Only thing i have to go on is that theres a woodpecker type sound coming from around where the injector is.

And suggestions? Car was fine last night. One of those random morning problems again

does the car actually turn over? do you get a whir whir sound?

I have had a similar sound to this on previous cars when the starter motor is knackered. sound wouldn't be from where the injectors are though.

This weather does seem to flatten batteries faster

Have you got a voltmeter. Just try your battery mate. Mine keeps goin flat. Mines from just sitting there not moving

Well i first used the remote start and there was a slight hint of a turnover then.

Then 2nd and 3rd time no turnover just the sound of the solonoid making a racket.

My battery is a pain in the ass at times, i did get it checked and apparently it was fine.

Im gonna try jumping my car off someone elses shortly and if it works then ill be getting a new heavy duty one sorted out i think
