yeah sorry, its abit confusing. I think i'm turning into Pugnut. Seems that maybe the full beam has been on all the time and been draining the battery. The corsa being a gay corsa doesn't tell you the full beam is on unless you actually have the normal lights on, so no indication i'd left it on. Went out and bought a new battery cos i thought it was the battery that was shagged.

So please retract your comments about the corsa being gay. It didn't warn you because the lights were not on

Yes i know the lights were not on, but the switch was, still think this might have drained it though.

If the lights aren't on, then there's not a complete circuit so the power won't go anywhere. Coincidence, I feel.

I think your boot light could be on all the time and that could have flattened your battery.
