Does the terminals spark when u refit them?
Aslo try jump starting it from another car.

Appreciate your suggestion and had of the same route. First few times I refitted the terminals they didn't spark - but then one last time the neg terminal did. And we were off again - it all runs /operates as it should and was doing earlier. I hadn't knowingly touched/changed/banged/ anything new or different. Drove to local garage to check out nearly new battery and all sweet there.

When it finally becomes daylight again I shall search out those earth leads and give them a going over. Damn wigglies!
