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.
