Sounds like the battery in the first instance. How old is the battery (is it still the original and how old is the car)?

Follow Chris’s advice, make sure you have a decent of jump leads though.

I have a Suaoki U28 jump starter I carry around which will start upto an 8l petrol engine/6l diesel engine. It has been used successfully a number of times (even in a Eurotunnel queue helping a guy with his 5.4l E55 Merc – he was rather surprised my video cassette sized device started his car!!). There are probably newer/better ones available now.
