Sounds like battery dead due to alternator failure , try charging or a jump start . If you then get it running , test alternator charging rate .

Thanks for your VERY quick reply, I'll try all you said tomorrow, although I have already tested the battery and the volt metre told me that there was 11.6 volts in the battery, I took this as nearly fully charged, but I'll try a new/spare battery tomorrow.
Thanks again
Thanks again

11.6 v verifies battery is totally flat and needs charging .

Thanks, must be as you said earlier, a duff alternator then, as the car was run after the ign. light came on and flattened the battery. I'll change the battery, start the car and check charge, tomorrow.
Thanks again for your help.
