make sure the negative on the battery is very tight, this happened to me before and it turned out to be a loose connection, check the positive too, if that doesnt work try giving the starter motor a belt as it may have seized with the bad weather, if it doesnt bump start then you have problems

does it turn over at all?

Sorted, earth attachment to body, now clean and copper greased - back in love now !

Which earth was it? Good stuff

[n9kie]

good work, how did you find the fault? did you do an earth test?

Bolt to front panel, there was a lot of condensate type moisture (garaged during the snow - aluminium was 'blooming' nicely ! No testing - it was the first one i tried - result, was just going to get another battery.
