   Alright there guys, Came out to the car and the cd player has been stolen. Went to try and start it up, dead completely nothing. No starter motor noise either. Flat battery?? Have a sub wired up to the cd player so when this has got ripped out the remote wire has been left unattached to anything would this be why my battery's dead? (assuming its a dead battery) Any help much appreciated thanks!

   Sounds like you know the problem, Remove the sub wire from the battery then bump or jump start the car and report the stolen cd player

   Thanks mate just wasn't too sure as I was expecting the clicking noise from previous battery situations. Will have to let it pass no m.o.t on it at the minute. Just glad that my boot lock is broke or they would of had a nice little sound system too. Wern't smart enough to get in from the back seats but hey they wouldnt be about stealing if they were smart in the 1st place.

   So im just back there after 20 mins of trying to jump start it. No luck was ticking over but just wouldnt fire up. Too flat to jump start? Very little petrol, but should be enough to get started. Any suggestions guys? Back down later with a can of easy start and can of petrol if not take the battery out to give it a good charge?

    Jump leads should be good enough... Keep the jumping car at about 2,000 RPM to send plenty of power!

    You do realise to that having no MOT means no insurance either just in case you get broken into again & have more stuff taken.The insurance company won`t want to know.

    Drained the battery cause the sub remote wire wasn't connected to the head unit. That turns the sub off when the ignition turns off.

    Yeah but there also needs to be 0.6V running through the remote wire to turn the sub on?

    hmm no radio on the remore wire would not turn the sub on because it needs voltage from the head unit to turn it on!!
