What do you do to get it going then when this happens ? Would be worthwhile getting battery load tested , charged or replaced if needed and original . If battery low even a 30 mile journey while using different things like heater , lights , air con , wipers etc wont really fully replace charge as needed

Hi, I used my booster charger to get the car going. On checking everything later I noticed one of the battery clips was loose, hopefully, everything is alright now, thank you for your advice.

A loose battery terminal may well have been your fault . Keep an eye on the battery , as if any weak cells it wont hold a charge

Unfortunately it wasn't the battery cable. At my wits end with this car.

As already suggested earlier , get your battery LOAD tested . Simple 2 min check and also alternator charging rate at same time
