Hi Guys.
Can the freezing conditions that we have all been enduring recently cause your car battery to suddenly die on you?
I ask because I was in the mig this morning giving the interior a clean and the radio which I had on suddenly turned off. (engine not on at time)
I tried to start the car and nothing.
All the lights came on the dashboard but the engine made no attempt whatsoever to turn over

Tried a couple of times and same result.
I then got out and tried to lock the car via the remote fob and that woud'nt work either.
After pressing it over and over again the locks went down a quarter of the way but not properly.
After another couple of attempts they went down a bit further and now my car is secure.
Strangely though the boot still opens perfectly with the remote fob.
Because I don't feel safe driving in the Ice and Snow, the Mig has been sitting outside my house for over a week.
Every day though I have gone out and started the engine and let it tick over for a good ten minutes and reved it a little.
During that time I got no warning lights on the dashboard and at no time did it sound like it was going to cut out.
What I did notice though was that the last couple of times I started it, just for a split second when I turned the key, I got that sluggish sort of moaning sound and then the car fired up fine.
It was literally just a split second as I first turned the key.
Do I just need a jump start thanks to the cold snap or could it be time for a new battery or even a new alternator?

Thankyou in advance for any replies
