sounds like your starter is shot mate , can you bump start it? , I had this problem on the 90 although its a TDI , slow turning no matter what battery and earths are on it , changed the starter and instant starting again

by the way pop over to the introducing section ,and introduce yourself

What he said ^^^

Also it might be worth having your battery checked and if it is duff, getting it replaced.

And don't get Drivel to have a look at it

Take it to a local Halfords and they will do a free bttery condition check for you.

Then get the biggest CCA that will (a) fit and (b) you can afford.

Most nowadays come with between a 3 & 5 year warranty.

Personally, I prefer Bosch but others have their own preferences.
