batteries only a few months old it went dead from not bein used! it started ok the first time but only drove it up and down the road a few times so battery didnt get a decent charge! what about the indicators stuck on?

Trickle charge the battery for 3-6 hrs. This should get enough charge in the battery. Put some load on the battery, ie stereo heaters lights etc. If the battery then dies after normal use, your battery is bollocksed. If you've got a multimeter you could check it properly. The alarm could have something to do with the indicators, because the battery is bollocksed.

get a new battery mate.not worth the hassle

It could be that the battery is not getting charged by the alternator, or there is load on the battery that's draining it. Also check that the light in the boot isn't staying on when the boot is shut.

You could check the battery and alternator with multimeter if you have.

let the battery go dead then jump started it again. no problems with the indicators anymore and put all lights and heated screen on and checked battery voltage 14.2v with it all on and 14.4v just engine running so hopefully it'll all b ok now! cheers
