Hi there, Many, many thanks for the advice and and help. Having checked all the connections I took Jonathan's advice and had another look at the battery (it is a Banner one that came with the car) with a multimeter. Even though the CTEK battery charger was saying it was 'fully charged' the voltage across the terminals was only 4v - so no where enough to turn the engine over. Tried jumping again from another car with the engine running for 20 minutes and, sure enough, she started. Off tomorrow to buy a new battery. So final question...... any recommendations for a replacement battery (preferably a heavy duty one) ? So again, thanks to you all for the helpful advice, and to Jonathan for taking the trouble to send be wiring diagrams etc. Cheers Richard
