aquarius mate, might take u up on that!

Dont hit the starter motor, wont be that. Obviously the batterys just dead, just needs something bigger to start it with.
We have tons of cars at work that the battery dies on, and it clicks when you try start it, and a booster pack wont start it, do you think we put a new battery and starter motor on them all? No, just need somthing big enough to start it. Tell your parents to gtf!!! Why wont they let you use there car to start yours?

Clicking could be because the starter motor doesn't have enough power to turn, which is down to the battery being dead.
