Hi, I spent a lot of time today looking over the wires and checking connections and all the fuses again and everything else I could think of and none of it worked, so i thought i'd try jump starting it again and it bloody jump started!! it didn't do s thing the first time i tried it, i was gutted but also quite happy! So then I got kwik fit to test the battery and it came up that the alternator was perfect but the battery was trying to start the car with 67% power, so I had to get a new battery, £75! ouch! but at least the mondeo superstar is running again I do appreciate all your help people. many thanks
