my battery clamps are clean thank you very much Razz

jkz! nah there cool, well it seems to be doing this now: after driving it with lights on and they go dim and stuff, as soon as the car is off it wont turn back on it just clicks, but, leave it for a few hours and it turns back on again. now i must say....... what the! thanks for everyones feedback its really appreciated. id go to an auto elec, but it sunday Sad

From what you described here it sounds like the battery is good but your charging system is faulty.

When you turn your ignition on does the battery light on the dash come on?
Does the battery light then go out when the engine is started?
If the battery light on the dash has a blown globe the alternator won't charge. Also check that the alternator drive belt is tight and in good condition. You can also get a multimeter and measure the voltage at the battery with the engine running. This should be 13-14 volts depending on how flat the battery is.

If all else fails, take it to an auto elec on Monday.

Good luck and let us know how you go.

Brad
