reault engine not start

[salem07]

have an 02 reg Clio.
Sometimes the engine will not even turn - all the lights are on but the start motor does not activate. Seems to be totally intermittent - all I do is keep trying the key in the lock, rocking the car or walking away for a few minutes and then it works.
Could be a sensor, or the igition lock or anything?? But which sensor?
Or could it be the key fob?
I've checked the battery connections and they are ok.

It sounds like the Key.

as twr said it could be the key,id'e try a new key-fob battery to see if that helps but if the starter is clicking then it won't be the key fob it could be the starter motor itself has an intermitent fault.

Could be rain water affecting the immobiliser sensor under the roof Aeriel.

HI I HAVE replace key fob battery but still the same

Hi, get your Battery checked, check connections on Starter/Solinod, Check the earth wire from the starter up to the Battery

My wife's 52 plate Polo is also doing this. It doesn't have remote central locking though, so there's no battery fob.

Does the rest apply to me too though? It normally works after 3 turns of the key and is also intermittent.

Thanks all and thanks for posing the original question
