Only starts from jump and centrol locking screwed

2000 MG ZR
Car: MG ZR
Year: 2000
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
So I just acquired a car from my step mother who was going to take the ZR to the scrappys so I thought I'd take it off her hands.

She tells me the car won't start, but once engine is jumped off it will run fine and also the central locking system doesn't work.

I pick the car up on Saturday to take it to my garage and hopefully repair.

Best to get a checkover and estimate for costs before you get too deeply involved in repairs
