The green light on the battery is only reading one cell, i would say you battery is us, with a good battery it will crank for an awful long time.

Hopefully it's just a weak battery then.

They absolutely hate low volts. Causes all sorts of issues. I put a Platinum battery on mine. Cannot remember which one exactly but might have been the 642X.

Hankook 1000CCA from Battery Megastore does the business at a good price. No connection, just a happy customer. Varta seem to be crap, my rescued P38 came with a new Varta of the LR recommended size, it will not start the car in cold weather, ditto the new Varta I fitted to my Transit which I have now replaced with Hankook.

Got it fired up again I'm going to change the glow plugs and ordered a new battery. I think the ride height sensor need replacing, front drivers one the arms is heavy rust and I lightly moved and it snapped so moved the round bit clockwise & anti the front went down then inflated again but the back hasn't moved so think this is why the four lights are on on the control panel
