Hi,

My 206cc will not start today, the engine barely turns over and when I turn the ignition off the wipers go and the doors lock. The clock, temperature gauge and all that has set itself to 0.
Anyone any ideas as to what it could be.

Cheers
Kate

Sounds like time for a new battery. Get it checked at least. Follow the procedure in your handbook if you're replacing it yourself. The genuine battery will be the right height, other makes may be shorter in height.
How old is your car Kate? Any older than 5 or 6 years and I'd definitely suspect the battery if it is original. You didn't get any red lights up on the dash did you that could point to other issues?
Oh, and welcome to the forum. Good to have you with us.
