    Just got a landrover defender and it fails to start

    Not sure if I can or not, has no insurance, as my learner insurance expired, would have to take that out again and see, I really don't think it's the battery though, as the one i bought today is marked "Fully charged and ready to go" So I'm sure its a starter, or earth wire problem

    Only problem is getting it to a garage, and no idea how much they would charge me, where are the earth wires located? I'll try them first

    I'm in West Lothain, Livingston, and yeah I will try to get some mates around to help me bump start it, cant jump start it, due to the location of the battery, would need very long leads for that, I think its the starter myself, although no idea how to fix that or even check it

    The battery I got today is marked as "Charged and ready to fit" from halfords, so I assumed it would be fine to just stick in and go :(
