Default Scoob wont turn over??????

Noticed the other day, battery was sounding a little weak so went on a bit of a run to charge it up a bit. Came out of my girlfriends house tonite, and got nothing?? dash lights came on, doors locked, stereo came on but wouldnt even turn? bumped it an gave it the run back to my house, (bout 6 mile) and tried it at my house, still nothing!!???

Anybody got any ideas what may be causing this???

It has a viper alarm/immobaliser if that makes any difference?

i was about to say keep an ear out for the fuel pump priming, but you said it wasnt turning at all didnt you!...

prolly worth giving the starter motor a slap.... might be a dodgy connection??

Couldnt it just be the battery not holding charge, ie defective?

Sounds like the battery is knackered. How old is the car?

if the stereo is working and the locks are working okay it might not be.... worth sticking a multi-meter on there to be sure...
