im sorry ive put this in the wrong forum havent i
last night i picked my wife up from a friends five minutes away in the car (an 8yr old yaris). the car started fine when i got in at mine, i drove it to the friends house and waited outside for maybe two minutes with the heaters on but the engine not running. when i tried to start it again i got all the symptoms of a flat battery - engine wouldnt turn over and lights dimmed when i tried to start the car. it did start very easily with a push start on the road tho.
my question is, is this the cold or is the battery really dead flat. if it is the cold then what can i do to start it again, and if i just wait for it to get warmer will the battery just magically spring back into life? the last two or three times i have used the car in the cold weather (all for fairly short journeys) it has started no problem.
cheers.
