Went to move mini and turned the key and the engine just jams. AS in it makes a noise as if it's gonna start for like a mini sec then just jams and does nothing. This sound major or something that should be easy fixed. So glad i got a mini .

Sounds like your starter motor..

Try giving it a tap to see if that works..

Check all your earths as well...on to the body on the front..and the one in the boot to the floor from the battery...

Are we sure you dont have a blat fattery?

Sounds to me like he's trying to explain that god-awful noise the solenoid makes. Like a really loud ticky-tick kinda noise.

That's what i think too..you'll still get the same click if the starter is gone too..

Can you push start it?

borrow some jumper leads (if you don't have any) and try jump starting it.

Me thinks battery is low from your description.....

Nah not flat at all. The sterio was still pumping. I rang up my mechanic and he told me to put it in 4th and rock and back and forward because sometimes somethig (like how much notice i take with that word ) gets stuck. So i did turned the beast on and it's all good so much pleased .

Yep the starter motor then..its just need a fix up inside
