Give the battery terminals and connections a good clean as she has been standing for 6 months.

Do the lights flicker? - if so this is telling you its a battery problem.

Have you tested the battery with a voltmeter - at rest (engine off) the battery should give you a reading of 12.5 or more volts - under 12 volts and it looks like a duff battery.

Does she start when jump started? If so with the engine running test the battery with a voltmeter - should give a reading of 14.8 volts - if not you may an alternator problem.
