[QUOTE="switch10, post: 170719, member: 10529"] i dabble in mechanics part time, and would be leaning towards a loose or dirty earth cable somewhere. had this on a motor recently. have you checked the new alternator is charging the battery? maybe the battery cells have gone dry? only takes one and this will allways result in a flat battery. A starter motor shouldnt cause a battery to flat, inless you are having problems starting it? easy way to check if its the electric windows is pull the fuse for a day or so, see if its fine then. is the alternator belt tight enough? normally you can turn it a quarter between 2 fingers? anymore and this will not charge battery. could be the radio, however most radios only come on via a switched live so should automatically go off whne ignition is not on. just a few suggestions :) [/QUOTE]
