Hi there. Jump leads can be bad news on modern cars because of all the blasted electronics. Did you try starting it with a fully charged battery?

I know some cars had the thing where if the front wheels were lifted off the ground then it would immobilise the engine as it thinks its being stolen and towed away on a tow truck or sumthin? maybe its sumthin to do wit that?
