You should be able to do better than 15%. I can give you a code for 25% but you should be able to find 30% with a bit of googling.

Well it looks like you were right as there was a huge collection of water in there which obviously knackered things. I had to drive some deeper water and combine that with the rainfall recently......

So, all drained away now and still dead. Where are these fuses that I need to get to and look at or change??? Can anyone explain or pictures? I need to get this sorted asap now really.

Thanks for all the help so far everyone!! Much appreciated.

Update here. The problem was the same as the pic in the thread. The cable connection had corroded and snapped off so no feed at all from the battery. All taken apart now and new fuses going in as well as a good scrub up of the surrounding area and bits and a new piece of cable going in, so hopefully all going to be ok now and I should get her back on the road next week.

Many thanks to my local chap for coming out again. Always get great friendly service from these guys.
