Hey guys, me again.
Due to problems, my car battery has gone flat for a week. I connected upto a mates car for a jump start, but can't get the car to start. I put the key in and as I try to start, it chirps and turns over but does not fire. I have a new key as well from a dealer if that makes a difference. They had the code so I assume that there is no probe with that

im assuming you have 2 keys, one old and one which you got from the dealer, did you try starting with both the keys??
-
have you dropped the key? also could it be something drained the battery completely, causing it to attempt but not fully fire up. TBH sounds like immobiliser playing!!

I only have the one new car key

It's a new key from the dealer so no dropping. Something is draining the battery. I assumed it was the alarm so I don't use it no more. But shouldn't it still fire once it's connected to another car?

Unless you have a professional set of jump leads most sets won't start a watch much less a 3.2 V6 when battery is flat. Try connecting up your leads & leave donor car running for 15-20 mins. This will charge flat battery enough to start. Then turn off donor car & try car with flat battery (Prevents voltage surge & fried ECU's).
