Possible Problems with Ignition

On our Freelander TD4 2001 model,we have intermittant problem where you turn
the ignition key and theres some clicking but nothing fires the car. This
may happen three or four times a week and will usually take six or seven key
turn tries before it ignites. Can anyone suggest a problem so i can check it
out before I take it to an (expensive) dealer.

Thanks

If it's a rapid regular clicking from the engine bay then suspect something
on the starter system.

We got it on Rover 214's alot at work usually indicative of a low battery,
but in your case sounds like a poor connection somewhere.
