Definitely needs cleaning out thoroughly. A decent electrical contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush. I would decontaminate and clean the oil away thoroughly before pursuing other avenues.

If you have a Maplins near you or perhaps any decent pharmacist for the alcohol or Halfords for some cleaner. .

So I have cleaned off the connectors and reconnected, now when trying to start it barely turns over, is I possible I have tried to turn it over too much? A Defender...

Probably. Any means by which you can either charge or measure the battery terminal voltage? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Okay, recharged and tried again, started first time, ran it for a while and went for a little drive, no dramas so far.... Thank you to all that helped, yet another reason why def2.net is invaluable to those who used it..

Great news. Hopefully 'done and dusted' or perhaps a little more apt 'lubed and cleaned.' Whistle Thumbs Up If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
