Won't Start-help

My Mini Cooper S 2007 WON'T START Drove it home last night--no problem starting; this morning tries to turn over, but nothing. Radio, lights, windows all work fine. Tried to push the car and start it--no turn over
PLEASE help--I have 1.5hours to the nearest dealership--that is a huge tow truck bill!

Sounds like a battery problem. Did you try to jump it or put it on a charger?

Sounds like the typical MINI battery issue.
MINI's are very critical about voltage & amperage.
Your battery may test out fine but if it's over 4 yrs. old (especially in cold or hot climates) it probally needs to be replaced.
Radio, etc will work, but not enough power for stater to kick in.

thanks for the help--ends up being the fuel pump and a fuse that the pump drew too much power from when it was "dying"
