Most likely battery as has already been said. It's not providing enough voltage to drive the current through the starter hence the 'clicking' sound.

try removing it and charging it, or, jump start it with jump leads from another car.

check ur voltage across ur battery, should ideally be around 13volt. also once uve got it running check ur voltage again to make sure ur altenator is charging, should be around 14 me thinks.. correct me if im wrong

mine wasnt holding a charge for more than a few days. tightened up the battery post as it was loose, now it holds a charge much longer. try that..

i too got the clicking noise when there wasnt enough juice to power it up.

Yep as already been said probably battery knacked or poor connections on terminals or body earths.

I'd go with battery though
