hi all ideas/help needed
i own a fiat doblo cargo 1.9 jtd with 80,000 on the clock and up until 2 days ago was running fine
the problem started on friday morning, jumped in went to start, wouldn't start strugling to turn over, flat battery i thought, charged battery for a good 8 hours re fitted battery van fired up, i then left the battery connected on load for 16 hours went to van this morning, nothing not even lights would come on
i'm thinking something is draging down the battery but what?
are they known electrical issues with these
are there any simple tests i could do to eliminate anything
help please
 
Obviously the battery needs checked first then check for battery drain (for it to drain this fast I would look towards alternator etc)

thanks for the reply, i've had the battery checked so i know it isn't that, how would i check for battery drain? how would i check the alternator?
thanks for your help
