OK it won't start. I know some cars don't like being started just to move them from one side of the drive to the other, but we have builders in at the moment and I had to move the vehicle from cold two days in a row without it having being used in the meantime. Now when I turn her over she won't start. It sounds like the stater motor is not turning the engine - I don'y know (not mechanical). If the cause is the two cold starts - how do you cure it?

Sounds like your battery has seen better days,is low on charge and not getting any driving to recharge it.Either a new battery is needed or a battery charger.Or jump start and give it a good drive.
