I'd say it really is that simple, get yourself a new battery, and if valeting, and putting a drain on the battery for a long time, then put it on charge.

i agree with David that its the battery..if its the original one then you have done well and if its already a replacement then normally 3 years is generally the duration for these...i'd rather it go now than in the winter... ... - .- -.

My battery went again after 2 years, in a warm climate with little "long term" drain. Batteries are not what they used to be in the old days MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
