I have just tried to start my car after six months and she wont even turn over. The battery has been on charge over night but when I turn the key it I get a click from the starter motor but no action.
I can push the car back and forth in gear and she turns over so its not seized solid.. I have also removed all the plugs and it wont turn over like that either, any ideas?
cheers

Either bump it to get things rolling again,the engine heat and vibration may bring the starter back to life.
Or get a hammer and give the starter a wee knock,get somebody to turn the ingntion whilst you tap the starter.(make sure its out ov gear first)

Now not that I've done this before you understand, but make sure the big red wire is connected to the battery as it can sometimes hide when you put stuff back on!!
