Dead car
«

I bought a new battery about three months ago. I went to Milan last week and left my car for 4 days. When I came back it ran fine. The next day I put my key in the ignition, interior lights and dash were working fine. I turned the key and not only did the engine not turn over at all but the interior lights and the display died. The next day the lights and dash were back on but the same thing happened when I turned the key. Any ideas??

You tried charging the battery mate, as you may have left a something switched on in your car and it has slowly drained it.
Failing that get the battery checked out, and get a replacement under your guarentee

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be my Immobiliser!, in the end i had to disconnect it to get my engine to start.

As it turns out it was just a loose connection on the battery!!! Glad I checked before asking anyone to come take a look at it for me! Duh.
