ive got a cargo 0813. it wont start and just turns over very slowly a couple of times as if the battery is flat.ive replaced the starter motor and the battery but it's still doing it. anyone any idea's why??

I would also check the earth strap 1st, one should go from the battery to the chassis, then another should go from the engine to the chassis this one is bolted onto the starter motor itself, if after trying a jump lead from the - of the battery to the starter itself makes no difference, then I would remove the starter motor and strip if down, make sure it is,nt full of oil (wash it out with petrol) and dont forget to grease both front and rear bushes on the armature , Its not a difficult motor to remove.
good luck

Check the earth lead is ok or connect another one to test.
