    So, my gf left the light on in the car last night. :rolleyes:
    Anyway - battery dead this morning. What are my options?

    Obviously I could get someone with jump leads to jump-start - then drive around for an hour or so - to charge up the battery...

    Alternatively - does anywhere sell battery chargers at a reasonable price that would do the job?

    The car is a 1.0 litre Opel Agila btw.

    Or push start it :)

    Battery charges should be available from a motor factors, try halfords and the like

    BTW if you jumpstart, you don't need to drive for an hour - 15 minutes should be more than enough to fully charge the battery

    Tried the push start - not sure if i was doing it right though - found a quick guide on some web-site - but it didn't kick in.

    Any idea on the price of the chargers?

    Should be able to pick one up for less than 20Eur. Argos have one for 25 Eur.
    I got an energy station a few years back, it has a built in battery and leads, so that you can jump start without a second car. Also has a compressor for pumping up the tyres, cost about 60 or 70Eur.
    Good luck with it.
