Thanks for the info.
Little update on the situ. Jumped car this morning, drove to work with no issues. Brought my multimeter with me. The drive to work is 28 mile so enough to recharge the battery. Tested the battery an hour after getting to work and it's reading around 13 with the ignition off, and 14 when running. This is normal isn't it? If so, why did it go dead in the first place? Did I test it too soon after the journey or should I test again later to see if it is holding that charge.
