No worries.

Based on what you have said about it being fully charged and the fact that there are no lights left on, and what you say about being run and the central locking - this was exactly how mine was.

New battery time me thinks.

Whatever you do, good luck and keep us posted as to how you get on.

Try having a word with one of your local battery depot specialists. Thoughth i had a duffy battery in my last car, took it to them battery place where they connected a fancy testing device and declaired it well, and then, and only as a last thing did the nasty drop test with the big resistor thing - still ok, so they wouldn't sell me a battery. Top marks to that place  
Starting problem went away on its own.

Well never got the car tested yesterday but I did get it running again as a temporary measure I ran it around the block a couple of times and tick over was fine.

Obviously still got to get it tested to find the power drain but atleast i got it running last night.

Checked all the lights were going off properly as suggested ie boot light, internal light and vanity mirrors.

The headlights were replaced as the old units were an MOT failure could this be contributing to the problem although will never know without testing.
