Over the last few weeks I've barely used my 182 and last week it stood for 6 days. This week I've been using it for work again, but you're only talking a 6 mile round trip each day with the CD, heater, lights etc on.
About an hour ago I went to the cashpoint, I left the lights and fog light on and when I came back the car started straight away as usual, then died (at this point the heaters, lights, fog lights and CD player would have been on). Then I tried to start again and it kinda started and died straight away. It did the same again and the next two times it didn't really do anything and at this point I noticed a kind of electrical/whirring/clicking noise - but not from the engine itself, seemingly from within the dash.
I then turned off the lights, heater, CD player, gave it a minute and tried again and it was fine again. Since then I ran it without the CD player, heater blowing etc and it's started and ran fine since - I'm not new to cars, but I'm pretty green when it comes to Clios, so does this sound like I've simply worn the battery down or could it be something a bit worse?
