hiya my car wouldnt start this morning , it wouldnt even turn over as a newish owner of a tf , could this be anything to do with the heavy rain we have had and the vents to the engine?

That would be one of the most unlikely reasons for the car not turning over.

Is there any sound at all? Do the lights work? Does the horn work? Does the radio work? These all require electricity to operate - as does the starter motor. If none of these work then the power supply needs checking.

Do you have a multi meter (nobody should be without even the cheapest)? Connect across the battery and see if there is any life at all.

After that - .....

Sounds like the battery could be flat if nothing works...infact if the radio and lights don`t work I`d go 95% the battery is flat. Do you not have anyone living near you with jump leads?

If it is the battery it will cost nothing, but then it begs the question WHY has the battery gone flat...could be a simple case of you leaving the lights on or the radio....
