Ok... a rover wont turn over - it's in french and BTW this is from AllExperts, (the one I do for free) so not for profit.
Can you translate this fault description for me?
Come on, it's some french lady who's been ripped off with a rover - anyone want some good karma?

Sounds like dead battery to me, at least what I did see when I did put that to Google translate...

yeah, I'm thinking alternator/battery/battery leads and have said to check in reverse order.
Just trying to get a better translation.

it seems obvious enough. the battery needs charging, OR the starter needs hitting with a hammer as it could be a stuck solenoid.
