Hi Kash.

Will check the boot light, but i'm pretty sure there isn't one as i've looked for this before.
With a voltmeter on the battery and it running the voltage is around 14.5 volts, same with the lights on etc.

It does seem that it only goes flat after a run with the lights on ?

It's cost me 1 new battery, 1 new alternator and 2 garage bills so far, so i'm very close to calling it a day ! Thing is the car is 10 years old with only 50k on the clock and it's great in every other respect, I just need to sort this fault....
