And yes, off to buy a meter to check the battery...

You might need to remove the battery from the car and charge with a 6 or 10amp charger, then get it tested. But watch the voltage, charge current and battery temp while doing this - if the battery is VERY flat it may be rather hard to save it. If the open circuit (no load) voltage is less than 9 or 10volts, it's likely toast.
