 yea mate,lol
Cheers for the help boys ive checked the fuses next 2 the battery they're all fine where's the starter cable n is the fuse for the starter with the others next to the battery?the battery seems fine and the terminals are all good,the starter usualy makes some sort of noise even if the battery is low but absolutely nuthin happens when you turn the key 2 start it all u hear is a click from inside the car down by the diagnostic port which i assume is a relay or sumthin which is normal but that's as far as it gets

the click is the solenoid on the motor popping over
the battery is too low to turn the motor
give it a jump/charge and itll run

if your turning engine off immediately it wont take any affect, give the car a gd run for the alternator to charge it.
