Hi after some advice, I have given my rover 114 gsi to my girlfriend, but since she has owned it (2 days) the battery becomes flat over-night. Yesterday i spent over 4 hours trying to fix the problem, at first i thought the battery was knackered so i replaced with a new one. The alternator is charging the battery when the engine running. Ive also checked to make sure the boot light is turning off!!!

Completly stumpted!!!!

I just wondered is this a common problem? and does anyone know whats up?

cheers lee

Fisrt thing to do is elimate the obvious.
Charge the battery then disconnect the alternator. Leave the car to see if the battery goes flat again then report back.
