So, changed my battery twice but still got the following problem.
After I make a short journey half a mile/one kilometre or so and then leave my car for a while and then try and start it, it seems to have a flat battery. This is WITHOUT any electrics on including lights. I've checked for a drain inc. trunk/boot light with no luck. Its as if the alternator doesn't seem to be bothering unless its on a longer run. I had alternator checked at a couple of places and both say its ok plus on a longer run if it wasn't working properly surely the problem would be worse. The starter motor also seems to work fine as if i keep starting and stopping the engine it starts first go. Any ideas ?? its driving me crazy. By the way its not fuel either because this happens even if left overnight after the short run.
