Best guess: Battery is flat?, You took off the negative from the battery?

The car has an autowatch alarm no all i did was undo the battery clamp and change the globes.
Since then I have cleaned the battery terminals.

We just pushed the car and it started. I can get a new battery today but how do I fit it?

Did you make sure you jacked the car up?

Probably just happened to go flat at the same time. A far as I know all battery's are a simply bolt in and out job. If you pull it out most places can test it to see if it is working. You may also want to test with a multimeter yourself while it is running to make sure it is getting charge.
