Hi
Check your battery connections. mainly the black earth lead from the car battery to the car body, this might be connected but it needs a really good connection tostart the car.
The clicking will be the starter motor, they do this when either they are not getting enough power or have jammed up. you can give the starter motor a tap with a hammer that normally unjams them.
Also the battery might be weak, try and jump it off with another battery or car.
Is the car an automatic???? if not then put it in gear and push it forward with the keys out of the ignition, again this will turn the engine one revoloution and free off the starter, only works on manaul/stick cars though!!
Hope this helps
Regards
Dan
You can try tapping on starter with a hammer, sometimes they will stick when they get old. If that works you will need to replace the starter ASAP.
Hope that helps

Have the battery and the connections at the battery checked, remove the battery terminals first and clean them then try to start it and if the battery tests good then i would say you have a bad starter. and when replacing the starter check the big cable connection at starter. good day.
