    I have the car 2 years nearly and never had a problem ever starting. this morning tried it 5 times and would not start.

    The lights (battery oil etc!) cam on does this mean its not the battery but something worse? or could it be the battery?

    Is the engine trying to start?

    What kind of noise is it making?

    Could just be the starter motor. If its making a clicking noise, Id say so.
    Just roll it down a hill and try start it in 2nd.

    As it was quite cold last night, it could be a battery on its way out!
    However, as said, if there is clicking when trying to turn it over then it could be the starter
