Car won't start was working fine?
Hi guys I have a 1.2 L clio. And I left the Aircon on but the battery didn't completely die. Tried to start it and it was fine. Turned it off again left it for 5 minutes and it won't start. Battery isn't dead because windows and lights work lumps it wouldn't jump or bump start when I turn the key it makes a noise like something is stopping it from turning over

Even if the lights etc. work doubtless your battery is too flat to operate the starter - I expect you hear just a click when you try to start it, am I right? You need to either charge it or, if you can get a jump, start the car and run it for at least 20 minutes to let the alternator put some life back into it. If it's okay thereafter, you're fine.

Hello
Get it recharged or jump started and this time turn off the A/C and run it for at least 10 minutes then take it for a good drive in daylight so you don't have to use lights.

Hi like all questions of this type car age and mileage are important factors when asking such questions and has it been maintained as this has so much to do with why it has failed.
