Arrived home last night and the dash bonged saying suspension fault.
Switched off and this morning tried to start the beast but completely dead....
Popped the battery cover off this evening and tried to jump start it with another vehicle ..... nothing.
I did notice a bit of white battery gunk around the negative terminal of the battery. Yes it is a 2007 TDV6 and OUT of motorplan.
Any thoughts on this issue?

Sometimes batteries are so dead that they can't be jumpstarted.
Try another battery.
Gunk could be corrosion or just terminal grease  2014 D4 XS

if the "gunk" is just a little bit of residue, then its nothing to be too concerned about as its just a bit of corrosion.
If its a LOT of "gunk", then you should be worried as presumably you have a leak
