Rover 25 starting issue
Discussion
Hi my wife's rover 25 has failed to start. Unfortunately the mechanic I use is on holiday at the moment.
A couple of weeks ago it failed to start for her but when I looked at it the next day, I turned the key and nothing happened although the lights etc seemed fine. Then a minute later I tried it and it started OK has been OK for a couple of weeks.
Today it failed to start when I turned the key I could hear clicking around the dashboard area. The alarm has gone off a few times (sometimes the sound has been loud and at other times more muffled )and the remote fob seems to fail to unlock the car sometimes which I assume is an issue with the car rather than the fob as I have tried the spare fob with a new battery.
Would the starter motor cause these issues or could it also be a battery problem as the car is 13 years old now and I am convinced it has never been changed.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions
