Does anyone insured with mannings have the number for the breakdown cover?

Chimaera won't start. Had problem yesterday but started from Jump start fine, had battery on charge all night, fully charged, fuel pump primes, but just get click click click click noise when trying to start. Solenoid not engaging on starter? Not sure, any ideas on things to try?!

You could try rocking the car in gear and you need to look at the power feed to the starter motor and see how much is getting there.

I guess it's possible I need a new battery? May look charged but not enough voltage to start? Starts from a jump start ok...

Maybe. Battery must be bad if it doesn't even engage the starter. When my batteries have gone, the car turns over half a turn and faded quickly!
