Car not starting, flickering lights

[Dredz06]

I've attached a video of what's happening but can anybody help? It's not even trying to turn over

I can't watch the video but I had this on one of our cars before and the battery was being drained by some rubbish aftermarket wiring. Change the battery.

Use some jump leads to try jumping from another car to confirm though

Seconded - battery.

ive got the same prob with my 172 cup,only seems to happen when very cold or wet/damp,do you think could be same prob as mine and just replace the batterey?,i also get a strange noise from behind the speedo area,like a crackerling sound???.

 

[GrahamS]

Yeah it sounds like if. If the needles are flickering it's likely the battery. Is your alternator charging correctly?

Clios are so battery sensitive it's unreal.
My 172 started doing all sorts of odd stuff. Whacked a new battery in it and it's been perfect ever since.

Not yet mate,fella who was going to do the check couldnt do it,but i reckon its the batt as its been bit warmer now & no frost & seems to start ok at the mo,but will get a batt soon.
