Default ARGH HELP!

Morning fellas,

I require some help please.

I've been working away from home this week and left the S2000 unused since Sunday. Anyway I know my battery is not great at the moment so had to jump start it.
The car fire and ran for a few seconds and then stopped, the car was left on a hill nose facing up the hill, I looked in and noticed the fuel was showing empty so rolled the car around so it was facing down (the fuel is now showing a quarter) but now when i press the start button I get nothing at all?!?!?!?!

Please Help, its lovely outside and I want to get the top down.

I'm confused. Does "nothing at all" mean it's not turning over? Are you still jump starting it? From what you described, you had to jump start it, then it stalled after a few seconds (because there's no fuel in it), and now you're expecting the battery to have magically recharged?

Try jump starting it again it might take awhile for the fuel to reach your engine. If it was that low you will probably have no fuel in your fuel line so just keep turning it over until it fires. I would also try some more fuel in the tank just to be sure

I know that the battery won't magically charge (i'm stupid but not that stupid), so yes it is still being jumped.

When I press the start button it doesn't even turn over.

I'm hoping its not an immobiliser issue.
