Hopefully you'll have the chance to change the battery today, so we can hear the good news of a cheap and less hassle fix :D

yeah haha unfortunately i don't know if i can get it sorted today because  i need my neighbours jump start cables and he's still not in!!! :s

if he's not that late then ill test the alternator when he gets back lol but i don't want to buy a battery if the alternator is the problem you know?

anyway when i find out what the deal is ill demo update you all :)))

thanks for being so helpful!

Don't forget to ensure that you have the radio code before unplugging the battery - although the stereo might be aftermarket.
