You will have to get new battery tested , sounds as if it's flat again . Also get alternator output tested to see if it's charging o.k . If those test are o.k , you will have to check for a battery drain .

hi thanks for reply, apparently when they were fixing the car and put the autonator on they thought there was another drain on the battery but could'nt see where?, a frend of mine suggested it could be the dashboard about to go?

If they thought there was another fault i.e battery drain , they should have checked it out and fixed it rather than leave it . This shows you how to check out ,hope it helps you .
