At the moment the battery is not the problem as its been fine now since we jump started it, which probably rules out some of the causes mentioned. But obviously something made it go flat its just odd that it hasn’t happened since the weekend, unless its to do with dodgy electrics. The power steering and ABS warning lights are still on and the steering does feel occasionally heavier than usual.
very grateful for your offer molgrips, and will take you up on that, ill send you an email
