If the dash lights are flashing I might still say Battery.
Have you tried jumping it?
Or have you made sure the Battery terminals are tight?

 

i havn'tgot any leads ill get some off my neighbor thanks for quick reply had me worried ill have a look in the mornin cold and rainy atm lol
cheers

 

I would agree with TECH. It certainly sounds as though the battery is not up to par. When you do not have enough juice to raise the aerial and the dash lamps simply 'flutter', it is a sure sign of a discharged battery.

the mroe i think about it sounds like it havnt had car that long when i got it dealers said they had put a new battery in more likely they jus charged it up probably same battery been in it since came of production line its an 01 so ill jus buy a new battery and be done with it any recomendations? was looking at optima yellow tops but are pricey

 

Up here in Canada, we have Canadian tire. They will check your battery, and see if its crap or not. I assume the is a company that can do this service for you, wherever you are. It could be a bad ground as well. If your battery is good.
