urgent help/advice required please?

So my wife went to lakeside and on trying to leave the multi story, the 04 TD4 auto refused to start.......

the recovery bloke towed it to her mums where I sit now on this puter!!

My thoughts were that it is/was the rear wheel arch fuel pump, but as the battery was nearly dead, the father in law has just connected a booster charger thing and when the missus sits in it and attempts to turn it over while I give it a judicious whack on the pump, the car turns over once or twice then stops turning.......it won't just keep on turning over....
I have now dissconnected the battery for 5 mins or so while I type this and am going to attempt it again in a minute.....unless you Gods of LR knowledge know otherwise?????

please help, and thanks!!

I CANNOT stay at the mother in laws all night!!!

Sounds like your batterys knackered!!

Battery was shot where she had been spinning it over to no avail.... I got it hitched to some jump leads and my father in law's car and persuaded the pump with a mild malletting...... Job done. I'll get a pump ordered up though and a new fuel filter.....
Cheers for getting back tho!
