Some times when i try starting my volvo 480ES 1.7 the renault engine my starter motor will not turn just a clicking noise. when it does that the only way i can start it is to bump start it. Other times it will start fine.There is a meeter on the battery which shows discharged. I have no battery warning light and all the fuses seem fine. Your reply will be most appreciated. Thank you

since jumping it makes it work, i would suspect a bad battery or a very weak one that needs replacement, or loose and corroded battery cable connections.
