I'd start off with a load test on the battery. Most tyre joints can do it. and shouldn't charge anything if anything at all

Thanks for the replies guys, the dash is telling me the battery has plenty of charge, plus its only a couple of months old and its a pretty good battery, so i'll take it to my mechanic to check the relay, Thanks again fellas!
