Have tried to jump start using a ford KA.. no luck so far... The interior lights and radio on the car are still working.. This happened yesterday when the car was stationary nothing was left on to flattern battery. it has happend a couple of times in recent weeks but engine has always started itself after a few mins of trying.. no such luck this time.

It actually sounds like starter motor failure - or to be more exact the solenoid that sits on top of the starter. Assuming that all battery terminals are tight, and likewise the earth straps, of course.
