Billy no mates
Don't have anyone to help me attempt it sadly
I'm in West Lothain, Livingston, and yeah I will try to get some mates around to help me bump start it, cant jump start it, due to the location of the battery, would need very long leads for that, I think its the starter myself, although no idea how to fix that or even check it
Sounds like starter motor solenoid to me.
Try getting some mates to bump start it or even get a car to jump start it,
if the car is running and it still won't start then it can't be battery.
failing that buy a multimetre for 10 -15 quid and check it.
I reckon it's the starter/solenoid me self.

Sadly not, only got the landrover about 2 weeks ago
Not sure if I can or not, has no insurance, as my learner insurance expired, would have to take that out again and see, I really don't think it's the battery though, as the one i bought today is marked "Fully charged and ready to go" So I'm sure its a starter, or earth wire problem
Like i said though, battery is brand new, I'm sure its not that
I know, but I was just wondering if it could be something else, like others have pointed out, with the starter and such haha, I will get a multi meter tomorrow and check the new battery, and see if its a problem there, I don't think the earth could have went bad over night?
