Ff refused to start this morning in heavy frost !!
Tried battery pack and jump starting, nothing, all I'm getting is clicking noise when I press start button.
Is it starter motor ?
Battery is less than year old

Maybe not enough power through the booster pack ?

Could be a completely dead battery - that would be the first check for me - take it into Halfords or Euro Car Parts or probably most other auto factors & they will test it for you

Or if you're a member of a recovery service, just call them

On to recovery firm now !!!
Thanks

Had the same issue a few weeks back. Suspect the battery is shot. The breakdown guy attached the booster pack for about 15/20 minutes before trying to start the engine and it fired up first time.

Good luck getting it going  SDV8 AB MY 2019

Think it is the battery.
Does anyone have any experience of the Odessey batteries that are advertised in the Land Rover mags?

Will it be worth fitting one ?

Not experienced the one you mentioned. I got this from ATS :-

Thanks for wise words chaps.
Just fitted fresh battery, and she fired up first go
I've noticed that both positive and negative clamps don't seem to tighten up as much as I'd like !!
And the battery isn't held that secure in its tray !!
I'm sure that over time this has an adverse effect on its performance ?
And who decided that you need to be a gynecholigist get a battery in that space
This is the third battery I've had fitted in 12 months, so something is amiss

The battery should fit well & be completely free of movement.

I've not heard of any issues with the clamps not being tight enough before.

There's a Wiki guide on how to change the battery - if you put the bonnet into access mode it makes life a lot easier

They should last closer to 5 years - so it does indicate that you have some other issue somewhere - make sure you buy one with a warranty & keep the receipt. I had a 3 year old one fail (with 5 year warranty) and Euro Parts exchanged it without question.

I'm off to my local auto electrical garage next week, see if they can help

Careful with a jump. If your battery is totally dead, you'll put a lot of strain on the alternator once it starts up. If the situation allows, charge up the battery first, or replace. Good luck.

I've got a suspicion that the alternator is the problem
