New to all this.

Hello all,i'm new to landrovers although i've had a few 4x4's in my time,so please be kind . I've just aquired myself a 98 1.8 Freelander, got a few teething problems,sun roof knackered (nothing some gentle swearing and a tube of silicone couldn't sort out) and today i went to take the hounds for their first trip in it and it decided not to start. Battery is now on charge,job for tomorrow is to get it started.
