So just went out to my car at dinner time, I left the lights on when I parked up at lunch time, battery is flat as a pancake. My car is a 2009 so should be ok to try starting with key in the ignition whilst connected to a the car Im taking a jump from? This only effected MY2006 cars didn't it?

just don't put key in until you have connected the jump leads that's the thing
connect to both cars start the other car leave to run a minute or 2 then insert key in flat car and try to start

All sorted. Key out, connect the donner car first, live to mine first, then the earth last. Gave the donor car some revs and left to tick over for a few minutes then started mine, no issue.
