Afternoon All! Got a big problem frown

Sod's law isn't it... had a nice long drive this morning, no problems whatsoever. Then this afternoon go back to the car, press the key fob to get in and... nothing.

It's a Meta System alarem if that helps. The flashing red light is still happily flashing away inside. I haven't knowingly drained the battery.

So I'm locked out 200 miles from home frown

What the hell can I do?!?! And guidance appreciated.

Has the battery gone flat in the key-fob?
Sounds like the car battery is flat.

Ta. Yes I'm in now. And it would appear that *someone* left the lights on. *cough*

I am an arse.

So now back to searching for access to the battery, jump starts and recharging/replacing batteries.

Battery in passenger foot well.
Jump start with long leads, be careful of the ecu and other assorted wiring in there.
200 miles should charge it up smile
