I have a T Reg 1.4 Puma, only had it about 3 months but not had a single problem with it at all until this morning.
My boot release has never worked using the key so I unlocked the drivers door and went to open the boot but it wouldn't open? Took a few presses before it eventually opened. Then when I went to start the engine, it wouldn't turn over at all and all the dials went a bit mad and all the dash lights came on. The front windscreen wipers also came on even though they were not switched on. I can also hear a clicking noise that sounds like it is coming from just behind the ignition barrel. This happens even when the key is not in the ignition.
I tried to start it a few more times and all that happens is it clicks and I can hear a clicking noise in the engine. The clock in the car flickers a bit and the front windscreen wipers come on as soon as you turn the key to position 2. I have no lights and the radio does not come on.
A little bit of history, sometimes when I put the front windscreen wipers on I can hear that clicking noise from behind the ignition barrell, I didnt think much of it until now! Also I was using the wipers last night when the car was working fine, it was probably the last thing I turned off.
Any ideas of where to start? I am a complete novice but don't mind getting my hands dirty. I can change fuses etc but not sure where to start under the bonnet!
