Hi Chris & Steve, Many thanks for the advice, really didnt think it would be battery as day before it started on the key 1st time no hesitation, but that was exactly what it was, so many many thanks for that. Unfortunately I still have problem with bonnet not closing, have given the latches a good dose of WD40, cleaned them up and wiggled them, but when drop bonnet from about 15 inches it doesnt seem to catch, but at least now i can tie it down and get it to a garage. Really appreciate you taking the trouble to help, thanks Sid
