    And now it won't start.
    I'm a good bit away from home as well.

    Would anyone give me a jump please?
    I'm in Carrick-On-Shannon, Leitrim.

    It should go with a push....Maybe round up a few hardy lads to give you push..ignition on,2nd gear and let up the clutch when you get the moving.

    Nah, push starting is fine.
    Is it petrol?
    Hopefully you're parked on a hill :)

    Better hope it starts before the end up something solid at the end of hill !... otherwise braking could be difficult !!
