I've not driven my car for a couple of months. I've started it and driven it around where i work to keep the battery charged etc.

Recently i went to start my car and it wouldn't start. The central locking, radio and lights all work. The stalks don't work (ie indicators/windscreen wipers) and even the needle on the fuel gauge won't move and the engine wont turn over.

I tried jump starting it but there was nothing there, even after leaving connected to a mates car for over an hour to try and get a little bit of charge in the battery.
