It's too quiet, there must be something wrong.

So two weeks ago I parked the Chimaera in the garage while we went on our hols.
Went to get it out this morning, turned the key and nothing. No solenoid click, nothing. The lights work so I don't think the battery is dead but as its a single width garage I cannot open the passenger door to access the battery and cannot drive it up the ramps as it won't start. It's also pretty hard up against another car nose to tail for getting a jack under the front as I suspect the starter/solenoid.
So I guess it's a push out of the garage (whilst someone sits in with their foot on the brake as otherwise the car will run away across the road and into next doors garden).
A thought has just occurred, it was left unlocked, if I lock it and then unlock it, might that help...maybe it doesn't like me and it'll think I'm someone else.
ps I'm at Harewood Hillclimb on Sunday to see how it compares to an old mini up the hill, so need to get it moving before then..
