Cheers for the help there.

One question, is there an easy way to check if the battery has drained a lot, if the car starts.

Sometimes when it starts on a morning, I can get where i'm going, leave it through the day, then it won't start in the evening...

Is there a simple way of checking the state of the battery in the morning before I set off to see if it's at say 30% charged, i.e has discharged but not gone flat yet ?

Reason I ask is the missus drives the car and i'd like to know the battery is indeed 100% full before she goes out in it. I can put the digital voltmeter on it, but it will I guess show 12.4 volts or similar even if it's approaching going flat,
