Started Fine And Dandy

turned the ignition off but left the lights on as it was in a dodgy position whilst i went to the cash point

engine was off for 2 mins at the most come back to the car and it wont start

is this a bollocks battery or sommat more sinister???

Exactly what happened when my battery went on the blink. Give it 10 minutes and it will hopefully start up. All the tyre places will give you a free battery check up.

Do you have the AA Breakdown Repair cover? That covers replacement batteries, ?25 excess.
