But i was only going maybe 2-3kms to work and then the car would sit anywhere from 8-20hrs depending on how much over time i would do
Oh and you have a big stereo too? yeah it could be you've killed your battery or alternator..... try pulling your battery and charging it inside (if you have a charger) and see if that helps?


I hope it's not the alternator. The one I have in is brand new from Ford, installed by Ford. Had it put in in maybe May or so.

i also don't like driving the car without the engine having a chance to get to operating temp, which it does when I drive it.
