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....
you can have 14 volts, but no amps, which will cause your problem, can be caused by excess resistance in wiring, poor earths etc, thats why i advised a good auto electrician
