Clicking noise could be starter solenoid , due to flat battery .Tried jump start ? Checked battery ?

no she pushed into a parking space and left it.i never thought it would start with a flat battery so hopefully thats what it is , cheers

If not battery , make sure engine oil level and water o.k and engine not possibly seized .

It could start and if alternator was not charging , would eventually stop when battery was drained by using lights , heater etc .

i'm waitin on word to see if she checked any levels etc, it was a snowy cold morning so hopefully its more a case of the alternator draining the battery (i've no idea how serious or expensive that is)
