The Scooby battery is still connected,had to go to work yesterday so didn’t have time,the bm battery is charging down at the local garage so when I get it back I’ll put the two cables together and hope my hair doesn’t stand up then I’ll put the fully charged battery in and see wot happens

:| ..time to start looking at those fuses I guess. If you really do have no voltage at all on the jump points under the bonnet, I'm struggling to think what else it could be.
It's worth checking the BST (battery safety terminal). It's a small module which sits on the positive battery cable? It's function is to pyrotechnically disconnect the battery from the car systems in the event of a crash. See here....
Have a look at this Youtube link (you might want to skip straight to the 2 min point!)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c26Jq1O1m0M
keep us updated as to what he finds.Right ,all done something simple as I expected,all my fault which I’ll explain later so here goes
One of the leads that go on the fuse box which has the 250 A fuse fell down the side when I took the battery off and I didn’t notice it hence the reason no power after the battery,Now it is dark out in the garage as no power and the reason I didn’t notice is 8 years ago I lost my sight in one eye and I struggle working on things close up and sometimes I don’t notice things that are close up or in front of me,the arguments I’ve had trying to explain to the missus wots it’s like is a joke,until you have a disability you don’t know wot it’s like,it’s only a minor one compared to some people so I just get on with it like most,so yes I did laugh my nuts off and thanks guys for all your Imput,All sorted and I’ll take it off of sorn probably next month and get out more in it,

Last time on road was December have started it about 4 weeks back as for the cable it sort of sprung and tucked itself down the side of the bodywork and fuse box but as my excuse for not seeing it stands as for the AA man he did his best but when the Auto electrician showed me where it was then it was almost invisible to notice
Did I feel like a right Plum,usually I would but not on this occasion,took the auto electriciannabout 1 minute dead to sus it out,

It wasn’t me that took it off in the first place,the first as man is guilty and he didn’t have a replacement battery,the second a man took over but like me didn’t see or realise the lead had dropped down,all sorted now,it’s usually something stupid which it was and also some one stupid ha ha,thanks for the advice
