I no typical wen it was important that this horse went to vets for x-rays! also need the lorry twice at the weekend so had to get YO boyfriend to try his, however he aint used his in about a month and therefore the battery on that may have died to!

You sure there isn't an isolator switch on it?

When you say no noise - do you hear a clicking?

 

[Hels_Bels]

yes we have an isolator switch it was off wen we got there turned it on then started lorry and there was nothing, the battery is completely dead!

 

[dieseldog]

It could be the starter motor, when you turn the key do you hear a clicking noise or is it completly silent?

wen we first started it it just groaned and went dead and ten the second there was clicking i think wen we turned key in ignition
