Yesterday I took my Mondeo automatic on a decent run at speed to both put some charge in the battery and to burn off deposits in the exhaust. This morning the car won't start. It is as though the battery is dead, (2 year old battery). I keep the car in my garage but because of the car's length the front of the bonnet is under my workbench making it impossible to open the bonnet. When I put the car in the garage last night I had an idea that if I left it in Neutral and switched off I would be able to push the car back a bit should I need to open the bonnet. This is the first time I've parked the car in this way. When I parked up the screen showed that the gearbox wasn't in Park but then seemed to shut down normally. The first inkling that something was wrong this morning was when the boot wouldn't unlock although the other doors did and the mirrors turned out.
Although I've called Mayday / Green Flag they won't be here for some time. (Just for general info, Green Flag have a technical problem with their App this morning). Can anyone throw any light on what might have gone wrong?
