Have you replaced the battery, if not is there any way of trying another battery? If you have change the battery it could be a charging issue, dodgy alternator maybe?

Might be worth swapping your battery with a mate before buying a new one, would hate you to go out and buy a new battery and it turns out to be something else!

most car spares shops will test the battery and alternator for you and normally for free if they think you will buy 1 from them
