Fiesta Not Starting

Hi,

I have a Ford Fiesta Zetec S 1.6, 2008. It sometimes starts fine but other times it starts then cuts out, my boyfriend has had to jump start the car twice in the past 2 weeks as it wouldn't start at all.

On Sunday it started fine, I turned on the heated windscreen & it cut out. Tried turning it on again but it was dead.

When I do start the car now I don't have any of the electrics turned on (lights, radio, fans etc).

Does anyone have any clue's as to what could be causing this & what I need to do to fix it?

Thanks :)

    Sounds to me like it could be battery related

    It sounds as though its a battery related issue as above, however in more serious cases it could be that the alternator isn't charging the battery properly so this is something to check if the battery is okay. However I'm 90 percent sure going by the description you have given that it would be a battery fault.
