check the boot light we found after 3weeks on a mates sigma it was his boot swtich that was stuffed and caused the big drain of current when everything was off
or maybe the battury has had it?

The battery could be stuffed so its not holding charge..

Or your alternator may not be charging the battery during the day so its slowly getting more and more drained during the course of the day and next morning its to flat to start the car again.

Don't cold start usually take a bit more out of a battery??

If the light on your dashboard isnt on then id be getting the battery tested....

your boot doesn't close.. so maybe the boot light is on all the time?

Then the likely cause is the alternator - go to an auto electrician and get it checked.

Lead acid batteries don't like getting discharged fully. If its been flattened once or twice they will usually be on their way out, even if its only weeks old.
