- Clean up the battery terminals
- Clean up any "grounds"
- Check the alternator belt isnt loose
- Charge battery
- Clean starter connections

cheers guys...

Garage came to me last night and fitted battery and al seems fine..

Battery looks like the original vaux one so would be about 4 years old..

Mechanic said one of the cells more than likely fucked on old battery.Thats why it started 1st time but wouldn't restart from a jump...



I had to push car out driveway to get it jumped the 1st time and FECK me it was heavy.......... (2 of us done it)
