I have a 93 Landcruiser and I tried to start it this morning but it wouldn't turn over, the lights on the dash come on, radio works so not the battery..... it did this the other day but once i tried again it started! Clearly I have tried a few time this morning but nothing is happening

Start by checking to make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. If they are, make sure power is getting to the starter. If so, have the starter checked.
