Hi Krissy
Have you checked the charge in your battery? If you don't have a good charger I can lend you one. When you hook it up it tells you the amount of charge in your battery.

Hoping for suggestions:
Just got my Healey back from my mechanics over in
Stockton and turned it off in 
my driveway and now it does not start. It only
clicks once. Using my test light 
and talking to my mechanic I have pinpointed
the problem (I think) to a bad 
starter. I have tried the hammer trick to no
avail. I wish the mechanic would 
have had a crystal ball to see that it was
going to go bad because it didn't 
give any indication.
 
Can anyone suggest a
local British car repair shop that I can trust to put in a 
new starter so I
don't have to get my car towed to Stockton? My mechanic is 
suggesting putting
in a newly designed starter with a built in solenoid (higher 
torque starter
ratio or something like that) which requires a little 
customization during
installation. Or does anyone suggest just purchasing a 
starter on the web or
locally and think I can put it in myself? Please email me 
your suggestions.
Thanks,
Krissy Klein
