Yes I was going to check that.  I guess I should try to spin the engine with a wrench to make sure it will spin.

Maybe the starter is bad or the engine is locked up.

So I decided over lunch to have a go at getting this thing started.
Left the battery on the charger, it was at 100%. At first I got a start
error again, no cranky. Hooked up the computer again and scanned it, only
one fault code about the steering angle sensor which I cleared ( needs to
turn steering wheel lock-lock).
Locked/unlocked with the fob to make sure it was still talking to the
nannies then had a go, no start error but no cranky either. Swapped in a
battery which just started another car, just got a clunk from the starter.
I put the charger on this one to see if maybe it doesn’t have enough
electrons. I’ll try again later.
I’m not seeing any fault codes so it’s either this battery too or
something wonky with the starter?  I suppose I could try yet another
battery or go get a new one to try but it’s kinda puzzling. I’ll let it
charge a bit then try again.
I guess I should slide under too and just make sure the starter is
connected tightly.
It’s about 80F out. The mosquitoes are vicious. I guess they’re getting
in their last hurrah but it’s now starting to cool off, I guess the front
is coming.
