Any ideas???

Sounds like a low battery - give it a 30 min charge and try again :) If that doesn't work battery is probably shot
HTH
 
Yep you use the jump terminals in the engine compartment - assuming its not too flat and not locked you should be able to open the cover the normal way using the passenger compartment lever - if not there's an emergency release wire you can fish out under the rear nearside light cluster.

If its a dead dodo battery Eurocarparts are doing a good offer on a compatible Bosch battery - cost you at least £50 more at Halfrauds

Not uncommon for me as the car isn't used daily. Worse in winter as things like alarms and trackers provide a low level drain over time.
