00 1.4 Car Wont Start - RN84
Hi i'm new to this site but was recommended by a friend

I have a problem with my car it has been running fine since i bought it about 2 months ago but i went to start it this morning and it wouldn't. I know this sounds daft but i have tried putting more petrol init as it was quite low but that didn't work it sounds similar to the battery being flat so i tried jumpleads but that didnt work, any ideas on what it could be. i would be gratefull for any help.

not enough information
but
if you came out this morning and your car battery had died due to the severe frost we had then jump leads wont overcome a dead battery on a car and start it
if this sounds like your conundrum i suggest you replace your car battery first and try again
