Help!!!My V70 Won't Start V70-XC70

Hey,
My V70 won't start. When I turn the key, all I get is a rapid clicking noise. At first, I could get it to start if I revved the engine, but now, it's just dead. Starter? Battery?(Radio works, lights on, etc.) Thanks for any help

Mike

Sounds like a dead battery, make sure that you have the charging system checked as well. You could have a dead alternator or a draw on the system as well.

Ditto.
Start with the simple stuff.
Check the battery, make sure is fully charged, radio and other electrical accessories only need a fraction of the power needed to start the car.
A marginal battery will not start the car but will let you hear the blues.
Make sure the battery terminals are OK.
Most autoparts stores will install a battery and check your charging system at the same time.
