Re: jcb 3c wont start
I am not familiar with what lights are where, but I would expect if you have only ever seen one light, it would be the charing light. If there were no other issues (ie it started) I'd say the light is probably blown. Typically the alternator light is actually part of the charing circuit.
However the fact it doesn't start would indicate you have a switch problem (no power is being connected) or some issue in the wiring loom between the dash and the battery.

Rob welcome to CMN I would start with the simple things; check that the battery cables are a good tight fit on the terminals, then check the fuses (sadly I cannot tell you where they are located on a3C) also check the terminals to the starter itself.

I think its time to cross the terminals on the solenoid!
