My car wouldn't start this morning. Are there any Wroth mechanics about?
I'm guessing it's mostl likely a flat battery as the key fob wouldn't work.
These are my questions. Should I get it jump started and then just drive it around - as someone has suggested? Will I know if it's just the battery from that or could it be the alternator?
And how do I know the difference between a battery that needs charging and one that needs replacing? A bit of me thinks maybe I should just get a new battery to avoid this happening again.
And then I think, could it be the electrics?
Oh I don't know! I need my dad!
