Hi Emma I think it could be a starter motor fault had the same prob with a transit could well have got stuck try giving it a tap and also check the wires that it connects to these can sometimes come loose/break good luck

hi emma you need to jump start it from another car put jump leads on red lead on + on your car black lead on a suitable earth on car same on other car leave the other car with engine running for about half an hour keep trying to start your car it should start but your battary will probly be knackered if its been left for a long time you will probly need a new battary hope this helps
