Have you got a multimeter there? I can drop in on the way home this arvo, about 5pm?
Just keep it on the charger now and we can do a few quick tests.

So you've had it running since the start of this thread?

When it wouldn't start did things like the interior light and headlights still work?. When you turn the ignition on, did the alternator and MIL warning lights come on in the dash?.

It may pay to check the main earth lead to the engine is clean and tight.

Do you want me to pop in Roofy?
