Hello

I've not driven my car for for about a week and it has been sat on my drive. I come to try and get into and and notice the central locking is not working however I can still get into the car......

I try to start the engine and nothing! :eek: It won't ever turn over. It's like the battery has completely died or something.

The point of my question is I have the bog standard roadside recovery from AA, would it be worth adding on the home start and does anybody know how much it would be?

Thanks

Edited to say the battery was replaced last year so not sure if it could be that?

    Battery is flat, did you leave something switched on?

    Why don't you get some mates round and push it down your road or round to a mate's house?

    You only have to be a certain distance from your own house not miles away. then ring them as normal. You went away on holiday - left your car at a mate's house and now look! ;)
