If you post your location, another local member might be able to help you. Otherwise if you have any roadside assistance they might be able to diagnose the problem.

When you say it wont start what is happening? I.e just clicking, Nothing, Turning over???

[mikeydut]

clicking but starts when jumped and birmingham

Not enough power in your battery to throw starter solenoid over?  Is battery fully charged or even big enough?

[mikeydut]

brand new batterey

Which engine and what size (amps) battery?

When you say "clicking" I assume motor doesn't turn over.  Confirm

[mikeydut]

Sounds like you got a dodgy earth connection somewhere mate.  Check earths on battery and from engine block clean and tight.

Could try starting using jump lead attached to earth terminal on your battery and clipped onto metal part of engine as a test.

Good luck mate - post up results

Try putting a jump lead from the earth on the battery to the engine, see if that helps.
