Ok the car was left for 1 day. Not able to start, electric coming through as things still work etc however when trying to start doesn't appear to go that extra bit (sorry, not a technical type of person), first try was nearly ok, but then less and lesss, i'm thinking battery and will try a jump start from another car tomorrow, if that works will try re-charging.

However should I look for something else, water on electrics type thing?
Have had some heavy rain in the area the past 3 days.

Your help guys would be helpful (dammed car, only had it a month, but it sounds nice

Off on holiday for 5 days so the flat battery does stop it being arf inched as it was

Jump start should work (better from the other car than the slave battery).

The battery health may be determined by removing the battery cover panel (easy) and looking for a green dot through a small round window on top of the battery. Green means healthy.
