There is a number in dubai which comes every 10 min in the radio but not sure about AD
Its 800247365
But car should jump start even if battry is completly dead
I would say call recovery they have that powerful charger
It worked for me before

Jane, if the battery is REALLY dead (ie shorted out internally) it won't take a charge or allow the car to be jump started. They can just die instantaneously - and in extreme cases it may trash the alternator, too.
