My 200 will not start ?

It just makes a clicking noise. The interior light also flashes on/off and steering not locked appears on the screen...

Battery has died mate. It’s decided to have a dead cell just when you need it not to! Mine did the same thing.

Yep battery

Yeah it's dead.

Check that the alternator is kicking out the right power when you stick a new battery on.

Thanks guys, just picked up a new battery. Will clean up the earthing points as that’s also been mentioned.

All fixed!

All fixed!

Trust me mate, that clicking noise was tame. When the batteries go on the 197/200's, they can literally do all sorts of crazy things. You end up seeing features you didn't know you had! Always a good thing to always check battery first for literally any problem on these!

Yeah it was really weird, interior light was like a disco strobe, traction control became disabled, air blowers worked and then didn’t, steering not locked came on the screen!
All working again now ??

most modern stuff will throw a wobbler when battery is low, especially on push button start etc. all it takes is one ecu to see low voltage and chaos ensues!! plug it into clip and fiver says you've got half a dozen codes just from trying to start it.

Yeah had quite a few in work
