It certainly indicates a flat battery. It might just need a good charge. The last few nights have been very cold and a cold battery that isn't fully charged will always play badly!!

thanks Richard. It had a fairly good run and ticked over on drive for 20 mins yesterday and seemed ok this morning when cranked over, so looks like you was bang on.
