Hi all,
I wanted to move my girlfriend's car (A3, 54 reg., 1.6, Sport, Tiptronic) this morning - she's on hols - and tried to start it up but it failed :( and I got these lights...

Looks pretty bad to me... but I'm no expert. I can't find her A3 manual either. The engine tries to start, makes some noises and splutters out. Should I be worrying?
Or could it be something to do with the cold spell we've had recently - and its lack of use over the last few days? It's currently sitting on a slight incline, bonnet higher than boot.
I can confirm it started fine the other day... Saturday, and the day before that too. Oh, and she'd previously reported no problems with it.
