weird car electrics - dead battery

[simon winn]

Hi guys,

Something weird happening to my car.... My wife drove it yestarday all was fine. Stopped to pick up son from nursery and on re start car was dead - no dash lights. I drove out and jumped it (I know you shouldn't but needs must), car started fine. This morning car started fine so am thinking its not the battery.... What else could cause this? Last week radio blew a fuse which was a 1st. Simon.

Sounds like a earthing problem, the connections on the battery are they tight?

Malcolm will know.
