Thanks Richard! Spot on.
Westco Platinum WCP 30 - age unknown.
Battery voltage pre sticking it on the charger was 13volts, this dropped to roughly 9volts on turning on the ignition. Battery voltage after charging 13.7volts, again dropping to 9 volts on turning the ignition.
So as you say zero capacity!

I was just surprised at the sudden death. Though now I'm reminded by that Hemmingway line about Bankruptcy

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked.

“Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

Many thanks for all the suggestions.
