Peugeot 307 no power

Hi guys,

Im looking for some suggestions as to what the problem might be with my peugeot 307. Its 2001 and has 82000 miles on the clock. I just went out to drive off and the car opened as usual and I sat in but just as I was turning the key the whole car went black and there is no power. None at all. Everything is black and there is no sound at all when I turn the key. It has been driving normally with no problems up until now. Thanks!

Battery first. Check all battery cables and terminals and then give it a jump start. Check you might even have motor rescue on your car insurance, and they'll come do it for you if youre not confident yourself.

Thanks guys! I was a little worried about jumping it as I had heard that you can the voltage increasing quickly can cause damage. So the power needs to be brought up slowly. (does that even make sense?)

Anyways I do have rescue on my insurance. So if I cant get it going by charging the battery ill have it towed to the garage on monday

If you call your motor rescue, they'll come start it using a booster pack and do a battery test for you. No need to wait til monday.
