Thank you very much. How stupid am I!! Of course since we wheeled it into the garage I have been standing next to the car trying to start it. I will blame the fact that I don't yet have an owners manual, and my other car is an automatic (but oh boy do I feel rather silly - even my wife said "I could have told you that" - well she didn't did she!!). Now just need to figure why it might have cut out, but as it is snowing again, this will have to wait.
