Glad you got it going

I am sure months ago someone said REPLACE the battery with a known good one

p.s. = Was that one the old fuel by the way ? (big debates recently about old fuel !)

We did try another battery but no go. Then we jumped it direct off a 2.0 diesel but still nothing. Turned out the jump lead itself was faulty!!! We then discovered the good battery we used held a charge okay but 3 cells died under load! Yes its running on 4 year old petrol!!
