Do I just need a new one

flat battery

fiatracer, Feb 3, 5:57pm
you cant just turn the key, you need to put it into the ignition first

so if he fixes the flat battery in the key the car will start!

bendean, Feb 3, 6:03pm

So you dont think the key is to worn out, I will try it again

bendean, Feb 3, 6:11pm
if it turns and just clicks your car battery is flat

1trace, Feb 3, 6:12pm

Sounds like a jammed or bent Johnson rod. Try releasing it with compressed air and if that fails to kick it into life then you may have to replace it. Be careful if you remove it that you take careful note of which way it is installed as it will fit both ways, but only works one way. One end is magnitised and the other is not.

It sounds as though you have a polarity conscious key. These must only be used with the left hand as they were originally designed for the American left hand drive market.

Thanks for all the help but it still does not work.

I even tried a new key today but it must be faulty.

flat battery imho

call the AA

icemans1, Feb 4, 12:02pm
not necessarily, ya get the same symptom for dirty starter contacts etc.

johnf_456, Feb 4, 12:07pm
Yea but I say a flat battery is more than likely so more the right answer. But yes you are correct, batterys these day do not last long.

The car is probably a write-off.

bigjerry, Feb 4, 1:30pm
