Alternator died, or an alternator control circuit problem.

Check the fuses in the plastic box on top of the battery. Had exactly same problem with mine. The fuse from the alternator cable had blown due to the cable overheating. Connected cable straight to terminal to get the car home, then replaced the cable and fuse. Job done.

why have i no battery now sorry for sounding thick

 

[Craigbarnley]

defo sounds like what i had and mine was alterator cable. the reason you have no battery is because you car has not been charging it as its going. when you drive with lights,heater radio etc sure drains the battery

Did the charge light (red battery) come on?
