Welcome to my world mate.....check my posts- 04 2.2 Sri Direct

I cannot shed any light at the mo,but I should be a bit more clued up as,one way or another, I will be calling the RAC out later on.

Mine was driving fine and went to start it 2 days later and nothing,then clicking,then nothing.Sounds similar

I know it may not be any help as you may want to get it moving quickly, but I tried a brand new battery and it didn't solve it,but I will be posting the outcome later.So far,reading posts on several forums, it appears there can be an issue with the battery,starter and starter solenoid.It could be one or all 3 of them.If all 3 have gone together on mine, I will be seeking some sort of contribution from Vauxhall as that is verging on ridiculous for a car with 50k (in my opinion).Lastly, one thing I have not attempted, is to bump start it.

I have just been and had a quick look tried to jump start it but the battery is not the problem, I will have another look later.

[locking it down]

same with mine 2.2 sri petrol had some good advice from a mate it could be your sensors or on mine crankshaft sensor just ordered one £32+vat
could be camshaft sensor will let you know how i get on later

had a problem like this a while back. on mine it was the sim behind the steering wheel. it cost me about 400 quid to get it sorted. hope your problem isnt the same.

Had a good look at it earlier and the starter motor/solenoid has died so its going to need a new starter, nothing to major.
