Cant open bonnet to jump start car?
Hi Ashley,
IF it's petrol and manual..
see if the fuel pump still runs ( its under the back seat)
if so then it SHOULD start with a push / tow
do NOT tow it for a great distance if it doesn't "fire" straight away..
as it has the potential of sending unburnt fuel down the exhaust,
however if it does fire straight away - it's little different to the engine cranking on the starter
