New Used car is faulty
Comments

The battery was dead again this morning.
I phoned the dealer this morning, and he thinks it's the battery. He is changing it for me on Monday. I think it's more than that, but I'll let him find the fault his way! Just a pity it's an hours drive away.
I had a better look at the alternator today in the light, and the alternator looks like it has been changed recently.

Thought I'd post an update.
The Battery was changed, didn't help. Dealer took it back and changed the alternator, still no luck! Ended up have a new wiring loom installed, the alternator was over charging and frying everything. It's been changed a week now and seems to have cured the problem. Cost to dealer - £80 battery, £260 for wiring loom and labour. Fingers crossed!0
