Brand new battery in the car. Been running it in there for 2 weeks. Was at a clients house today and the car wouldn't start. Completely and utterly dead. Every light off. Jumped it and drove for 40 mins to another clients house. Was there 3 hours and afterwards it needed jumping again.
Got home another 20 minutes. Just started and stopped the engine 3 times and it was fine every time. Surely it should be dead again?
These are symptoms it DOESNT have... a funny noise emanating from the alternator, smell or noticeably dimmer or brighter lights.
It does have a decent belt which is definitely going round without slipping.
Anyone got any ideas?
