My mini will not atart.

Please help!!!!

I have a 2000 Rover Mini Cooper LE, it has been in storage for about 5 months, I went to start the car today but after a couple of times trying to jump the car from my own car battery the mini would not turn over just the normal clicking noise from the starter and then the sound of a fuse popping. Now the car has no red lights on the dash and will not turn over. I have checked all fuses under dash on drivers side and the 4 30 amp fuses under the bonnet, also have swapped over the 2 relays under bonnet on drivers side at bulk head but still not ignition lights. Can anyone help'

Have you got access to a known good battery that you could try, rather than 'jumping'. How old is the battery currently fitted??

Sounds like the battery is properly flat. Try charging the battery for a while and see if it helps.
