Drove 20 miles into town parked went shopping 2hrs, came back car was completely dead, nothing would work, called AA out and they jump started the cat { no problem} said battery was dead needed new battery. garage fitted new battery and all week no problem. drove to daughters house approx. 25 miles parked came out 2hrs later same issue, no power at all, no central locking lights radio etc., as if the battery was disconnected. back to garage guy kept it and used it for 2 days testing it intermitteredly .No issue for next 10 days then pulled up at traffic lights and lost all power, no dash lights, no Hazzard lights, key would not come out of ignition just dead. had a battery booster and attached that started no problem and now all ok ?????????

any thoughts would be most welcome.

Hi did you have the new battery coded to the car, if you don't have that done when fitted the car overcharges because it thinks it still has the old unit in it therefore killing the new unit double quick.
