Sounds like a flat battery, either that or its seized

petet16 02-02-14 12:38 PM

How much voltage is the battery showing ?

It's got a new battery and I've tried my other zs battery which is fine on it same noise

Assuming the engine isn't seized, it may be worth checking the main engine earth for condition and clean connections.

as pete, earth, a jump lead from engine to battery may suffice?

That sounds like starting circuit and not engine related. As said check all cables to the starter solenoid and all earthing straps.

so like they've said already check your connections.
