You could always swap the battery out of the Freelander when your missus isn't watching just to try it
Or juss drive off in the freebie, leave the doris fit the battery!

I find that if I must jump from a vehicle, it's advisable to slow down first.

guys - just an update to close this one off, tried all checks suggested above but still no luck, did however manage to jump it from the freelander and so went and grabbed a new bat (100 quid lighter!) - all fine now.
Thanks for the help and banter, good bunch of people, tar!

Nice one Ed, glad you got it sorted.
Unsurprised, rehearsed that scenario quite lot. We have 15 batteries on the strength here, so some are always on there way out.
I have various strategies, but in the end you always have to bite the bullet and cough up.
Glad its sorted, though £100 seems a bit steep for a 300Tdi battery - as I said further up, we've had three die this week, so I'll swap your bill for mine, if it helps
Aye, and sometimes the bullet makes me cough a bit !

yer it is a bit steep i agree, price you pay for a local small market town tyre/battery shop i guess - still good guys and i am lazy/cant be arsed with waiting for something to get delivered!

I buy a lot of stuff locally as well. Couple of days is a long time to wait for a battery to be delivered if you have hungry animals bawling at you,
If you're getting good service, that can be worth its weight in gold
Yes, and also if you use the local place, it may still be there if you need it in an emergency.
