Hi. Will try and keep this concise... Had the Discovery 2 2004 for a few weeks now, and I'm quite a new driver too, so I don't have much knowledge about cars or this car at all. I'm embarassed to admit how little I know.
Right... First things. I don't have the spare key. It is 50 miles away in Aberdeen at my husbands mums. I do have the security code. My Husband is offshore at the moment, and I need to pick him up with this car tomorrow.
I, in my infinite wisdom, left my lights on overnight 2 days ago, as I parked hard up against a wall with the drivers side blocked, and got out the passenger side - so the warning beeps never went off to say I left the lights on. Went back the day after - doors not unlocking, car wont start. Even immobiliser light not flashing. Dead, dead, dead. So today my Mum and I tried to jump start it with her car, but as soon as we connect the black bit, the alarm goes off, and when i try and turn the key absolutely nothing happens. doesnt even attempt to start, so I assume the immobiliser is kicking in as well. Is my thinking right? And how in gods name above, do I get my bloody car started? Has it lost it's connection with my key fob? Have I ruined my car? My hubby is nae gonna be happy when I tell him about this. And because he is on an oil rig, I cant even phone him for help!
Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
