Well it looks like I must get under the car and have a look at the grounds. Have never had cause to do it up to now as this car has spent its whole life garaged when not in use so have never had a similar problem. Just have to search for grounds using Haynes and a search on this forum. If I need new cables I will contact you Ice Shark.
Battery was replaced about 1 year ago and alternator repaired so should not have problems with charging or battery capacity which could also cause this problem.Just another question. Do you silicone/grease coat the ground connections once cleaned and bolted back. Thanks guys.
