    When i try to start the car i can hear an ongoing "clicking sound" and the
    start engine does not try to start the car.
    All the lamps in the front panel turn on and off continuasely and rapidly
    until i turn the "ingnition key" off.

    Any ideas what the problem could be?

    The car is a V70 2.4T - 2000.

    Sounds like a (nearly) dead battery. Try a boost, see what happens.

    My 2002 V70 also had similar symptoms - the battery ran down because the
    glove compartment light did not properly shut off when the glove
    compartment door was closed.. service adjusted shut-off switch - batter
    was re-charged OK. and no problems since then

    The battery is OK - so the problem must be something else.

    But what?

    Just changed your battery? Maybe they didn't thighten one of the connections
    thouroughly. Happened to me once. Also check the fluid level in your
    battery. If there is plenty of voltage but no amps, this gives these
    symptoms. Recharge battery first, the try again. Let us know.

    and/or complete 200, 700 or 900 stationwagon on LPG (or regular with less
    then 140K Km) in europe.
