the car has been stood without starting or being driven for around 2-3 weeks. the battery was totally flat to the point of no central locking etc,

i charged this until i could start the car yesturday, i then went for a drive to blow the cobwebs out, the cars was used 2 other times yesturday aswell (not long journeys)

this morning i have nothing again, i have put the battery on charge again so that may help.

diagnosis? alternator?

batterys can go just like that mate and then they are knackered - even though your charging them. How old is it ??? 3- 4 years ???

Id get a new one - costco sell Bosch ones if your a member.

there isn't a costco local to me, its a good 20 miles away, i was with danlp6 and thats where he said to go but then its all in petrol and i didn't see the point as i am a nice person and paid him for his bother anyway.

thought it might be a discount of some sort, he boning the checkout boy?
