Im having problems starting my clio sport. When I turn the key the speedo needle vibrates but nothing else happens. It wont even turn over. Any ideas what this could be. I also tried jump leads because I thought it could be the batt. But the same thing happend. Cheers

It is a battery fault. Try some better grade jump leads. Or replace the battery.

Yep, I agree with DAVE H, this sounds like a battery problem, here is a load test guide for the battery which you can use to confirm the issue.
