If you can do it easily measure the current whilst it is trying to start, it should be taking 7 to 10 amps (at 12 volts).
The real answer is to plug in the diagnostic unit and check the fault codes.
The diagnostic unit costs around £200 but it worth having.
Warning: if you try to start it too many times (ten?) without success it will lock-up (with error code 050) and then it can not be started without clearing the fault with the diagnostic unit.

Hi if you or anyone else would like one of the testeres you mentioned above i have two different versions but do the same thing and at a fraction of the cost. Regs Andy
