sunday evening i was on my way home rushin back for top gear, got home locked car up and came to watch top gear this morning i went to get into car and couldnt the alarm wouldnt open the car so i opened with the key went to start and as dead as u know what milage werent on the dash nothing !

jumped started the car and the cooling fan came straight on so it must have stayed on all nite and drained my battery.
Has any one got any ideas what it could be, or even happened to ya?
