Ford Fiesta battery
I am having a lot of problems with the battery on my R-reg Ford Fiesta Auto - they keep dying! Four in less than four years each replaced by the AA under warranty. The last one only lasted three weeks!

Then you have a leakdown that needs to be traced. Might be the boot light, might be the radio, might be the door light switches. Or you are simply not driving the car far enough to recharge the battery from the cold starts.
