Not starting, loud ticking from starter

[northy]

but i am going to give you a black mark for attacking the starter with a hammer

what battery have you got in now?

[BazEdgar]

It's the same battery that's been in it since I bought the car, a halfords one that looks too small for the tray. There's about of space an inch either side of the battery. It hasn't put a foot wrong until now though so I couldn't be bothered to change it.

What battery would you advise, if I do change mine?

[northy]

The small battery should be correct for the car. It should sit flush to the black spacer fitted to the front part of the battery tray nearest the headlight.

I can highly recommend Bosch batteries if you have a costco near you.
