    Flat battery by the sounds of it. Bob :thumbup:
    Can you try jump starting it.
    Fuel pump will sound funny as it is struggling due to lack of battery power.
    Serves you right for having such a long holiday! :lol:

    Do you mean the fuel pump is noisy? If so, the lift pump might be dead.

    Is the engine turning over on the starter, but not firing, or is the engine not turning over at all?
