Help - car won't start!
My MY98, just about to hit 70K miles, seems to be a bit nervous about this particular anniversary, and has stopped working this morning.
When I turn the key, instead of the whine of the starter motor, I hear a rapid tick-tick-ticking and nothing else.
I guess this is an easy thing to diagnose, if you're not me, for instance, but any clues of what it's caused by and a cheap way of getting it fixed would be much appreciated.
My guess, for what it's worth, is that the starter motor's solenoid needs replacing.

Aha, is that all, y'think? I shall buy some cables tomorrow and try it out.
Didn't think it would just be that - it's done about 800 miles in the last week so I'd have thought it was fairly topped up. Maybe battery is just too old or summat..
Cheers for your help!
