I'm having trouble starting the Grif. Battery seems charged on the trickle charger. On turning the ignition the starter motor tries to turn (more than just a click) but then stops/fades, it just seems to not have enough power - there's no sign of any ignitio. I have to recycle the immobiliser and I repeat to get the same.

Any throughts to help me would be welcome.

I think i would try a different battery first, one that is known to be good.

Trickle chargers don’t last forever.

I had to replace mine last year, all the lights said the battery was OK but it wasn’t.
