Hello
The last two times I've started my bus it's needed jump starting... which I did no problem, I can't find anything draining the battery so I think it may just be knackered and I need a new battery. Anyway I went to jump start the bus today and it won't start - I just get a couple of strange, slow wheezes from the engine as if it's really struggling to turn over, and then nothing. (Should say that it hasn't been started for about a month.)
It's a 1.6TD - with the jump leads I'm getting 13.6V over the battery so shouldn't be a power issue. Very new to all of this so any pointers would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

Ha! Number one!
Surprised it still does that whilst being jump started - maybe a dodgy connection somewhere, I will investigate
