try bolting in the battery from the car your useing for a jump. if this makes the car fine then youll need a new bat. it sounds like you just got home in time before there was nothing left in the bat.

check that you still have an alternator belt on.

check the terminals.

Hi Sam,

Pleased your problem turned out to be a minor one.

lf you go to your local Halfords they will be able to order you a Haynes workshop manual and although the book is the American version it will cover almost anything you wish to know about minor repairs and routine maintenance,

The Haynes part No is 61036 and covers all models including Turbo from 1986 to 1991

Hope this helps.

All the Best Clive
