1977 Volkswagen Beetle Manual

Recently we bought this car and had it overhauled and fixed. We had then drove it for nearly over 150kilometres. Recently I have had a problem of trying to get her to start up. Now she just clicks when I turn the key but the engine does not even turn. At times even the oil light wont even come on. Not even a jump start helps. At times the only way to start her up is to do a push start. But as soon as I take my feet off the petrol to stop her she dies down.

It sounds to me like you have multiple problems, the first one is a bad starter, or starter solenoid, the second problem is I don't think it is charging, check your battery connections underneath the rear seat, make sure they are clean, and check your wiring back to the starter, and check your wiring to your charging system.
