cheap test.take the black lead from a set of jump leads and connect it to battery- and engine clean metal and see if that helps just in case engine fitter screwed up the engine earth.

9 times out of 10 this means your battery is dead try another batt

could be flat battery /alternater not charging battery due to broken wire at the radiator cross member
