   Driving around a few days ago car worked fine, no problems at all.
   Went out today, alarm wont work, central locking doesn't work. Lights won't turn on and it won't even tick over :'(.
   Checked as many wires as humanly possible, looked for loose earths, plugs ect, checked every single fuse and found nothing! HELP!
   It's almost as if the battery has died but there were no problems yesterday at all!

   Mine did something similar, parked outside a shop, went in, I was only about 3 minutes and came out and the car was completely dead. I had to get my dad to come and meet me with some jump leads because the battery had gone flat. Weird.
