Hi
My car won't turn over. When the ignition is turned on the lights on my rev & speedo needles light up then immediately go out then when I try to start the car there is a click from the engine bay. Any help would be appreciated

It sounds like there isn't sufficient power in your battery or there is a poor conexion .

Try charging the battery & clean the battery terminals.

Check the battery earth lead at the chassis end.

Moved to Technical. Agreed - sounds like dirty battery terminals. When you;ver cleaned them rub some Vaseline or something similar on them.
