rogan 7 Report post Posted December 25, 2007 (edited) E46 318, 1998 NZ New, 120kmh fsh Turn the key and you get a clicking noise, bit like a flat abttery but louder. Turn the ignition a couple of times and she starts. Replaced the Battery a wee while back with an orbital blue top. Yesterday I doubled up the -ve to chassis and positive power leads in case there was a poor connection at the battery terminals. Battery has dual terminal so just ran extra 4guage leads as a precaution. Other weird thing is the headlights flash on as you try and start it. Any ideas or known issues??

Hartage 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2007 Had a similar problem with my e46. Was a flat battery, that is the alarm warning when head lights flash on and off. reset it with alarm remote when battery fully charged. You may have a dud battery or poor connection at body or in side terminals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
