Noticed the car starting becoming laboured and taking a few attempts to start. Bought a Battery replaced which seemed fine for a few hours. Starting the car got worse until it completely failed to start initially draining the Battery. When I got a jump start of a friend the car tried to turn over then completely died. No light on dash. As if the Battery had been disconnected. Wiggling the wires seemed to bring the car back to life but when trying to start the car completely lost electricity as if the Battery had been disconnected. I initially though it was a short. Googled and saw a few people had the same issue. Called a local auto electrician who charged me £20 to reconnect to another terminal as the original has corroded.
