Car wont start makes a funny noise but all lights and radio work

Sounds like solenoid making clicking noise ,usually because of flat battery .Either charge battery or try jump start .

thanks for reply will try your suggestions .
would it be better to wait till morning so not need to have lights on etc?
again thank you very much

If the battery is flat and it starts with a jumpstart , you will either have to give car a good run for the alternator to charge battery .Doing that in daylight would be better as you wont have the lights on ,
drawing power from battery .Saying that , the best way is to use a charger for a few hours. If any doubt about battery ,most fast fit centres like Halfords or good accessory shops will test F.O.C while you wait .Unless you are unlucky , a good charge will usually suffice . If needing any more help / advice , come back to forum and someone will help .
