Default Starting Car with flat battery and broken starter motor?

Hi,

I need to move my car but the problem is the starter motor is broken and the battery is flat, I was going to bump start it but my battery is that flat my imobiliser light isnt on, when I try and bump it will it not let it start cause of the immobiliser?

Cheers
Dan

Thats a difficult one mate and to be honest i'm not 100% sure, but i would think you'll have to charge/replace the battery. Could you not tow the car?

havent yougot a mate with any jumpleads.connect them to your battery for a few minutes that should give a bit of life, then you can bump it.other than that you will have to take the battery out and charge it properly
