Default Help with acquired 440.

Hi all,

Im new to the forum, so Hello to you all!

I really need some help.

Ive been given a 440 1.9 Diesel, that i will be using for the winter. However, its been sat in a garage for a good 3 years, its probably been started once, but not driven once in those 3 years.

I know the battery needs changing as it wont charge. So this weekend i tried to jump start it off my regular car using jump leads - unfortunately it wont start. It doesnt even turn over.

I get lights on the dash, inc the glow plug light, all the electrics work (whilst connected to my car). I get a click from the starter motor (top right in the engine bay), but as i say the car doesnt even try to turn over. So is this a simple starter motor problem?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Gaz
