She Wont Start!!

Ok lads, as you should know im no whiz when it comes to cars.

My problem is to do with starting the little bugger, as many of you will know the clutch went a few months ago, and not having the skills or the cash, its been sitting on my drive. Well today i finally sold her.

I went out this morning to start her, to check her over for the new owner, only for her not to start as the battery was completely dead. I just tried jumping it using my work van, it turns over, but just cant quite get there. I thought maybe where its be standing, the plugs might be a tad damp etc, so i dried then out with so kitchen towel and wd40, still no luck, iv been told by a neighbour to try some wd in the dizzy cap, could that work(i dont think it would) but it was only an idea. Anything you lads could suggest?

Cheers
Jimmy

PS - My neighbour also said that the car might have something called 'cold start valves' and these could be sticking!?!

PSS - Its a 1992 19 16v incase your not sure
