   Hi.
   
   I've been having some issues with my car starting recently.
   
   My 02 furio won't start when stationary however I can get it going with a bit of a push start.
   
   When i turn the key it makes a slight sound then it clicks....?
   
   The dials, lights etc. all work though.
   
   Also even if i drive it around for an hour or two... it still won't start straight after so that makes me think the battery is not charging up?
   
   Any ideas?
   
   Thanks for your time.

   Alternator might not be charging the battery, then again might be a battery issue.
   Get your battery checked at Halfords.
   
   You say it clicks when you turn the key?
   That's just the starter motor attempting to turn the engine over.
   
   Maybe the fuels not getting to the system,
   Maybe worth getting a volt meter and checking a few things out.
