I know this is a corsa forum but maybe someone might know why my Peugeot 106 wont turn start.

There were freezing conditions last night along with the snow which the car was covered in and when i go to start the car it wont turn the starter motor at all.
I turn it so all the lights come on and you normally hear a whirring sound and the petrol gauge goes up, however the whirring sound sounded like it was struggling and the petrol gauge didnt move and when i turn the ignition it just cuts out completely including the battery.

Im not sure what i could be, is it a case of waiting until the car completely defrosts and try again? or is there something more wrong with it?

Any help is appreciated.

Cold weather can kill a battery.

Try turning your lights on and starting it. If the lights go dim the Battery's had it

check for loose conections at your battery terminals and take your car to you local garage/shop and have them test your battery.
