@peter_h Thank you!
@lynx I don't know if it's anything serious that's actually broken is the problem though. The guy who normally drives it left me a user manual with a page of things to do if it doesn't start but I barely understand it. If I knew more about motor mechanics I'd probably realise its super simple to fix - or as you say it just needs a full battery. The problem is it's now in the middle of a plaza far away from plug points for my plug in battery charger. If I asked one of the other catering vans nearby if they could jump start it for me do you think that would work? It's had an MOT recently and was working fairly well under 'the guy who knows what he's doing' but then it's been sat outside our HQ for 3 weeks in the rain which it hasn't liked very much apparently.
@dirkbang Ha! I do not envy you. I've been in charge of it for 6 months (not actually driving it because I don't actually have a driving license - lol) but just getting it from one end of the country to the other has been stressful enough. It's had the wing mirrors replaced now so I don't think they fold in at speed. It's still fucking loud though.
