Hi mate put a multimeter across the battery and see what voltage you have?

1.9 xr2 on 40's

lol
battery is prob so low it wont turn over the engine but theres enough to power the stereo
push start it and see how that goes

As said mate flat battery, it takes alot more to turn the engine over than it does to make the cd player etc work.

Flat battery. Have you been using the car for lots of short trips?

As said it's a flat battery either it's not charging or the battery needs replacing, the CD player will tell you nothing but if you switch the headlights on and then tried starting they should go dim confirming the problem, you could always bump/jump start as a temporary measure to get you on your way.
