car wont start

[JLM_6N2]

Evening guys,

Dont mean to sound like a complete noob but I wanted to see your opinions before I started doing anything!
I bought my car in September and at the dealership it looked great no problems started up first time and everything!
I drove it home and left it behind my house for a week without touching it, I tried starting it a week after I bought it but it refused to start, I jump started it and left it running for half an hour and left it over night. After leaving it for 2 days it died again!

At first I thought it was the battery/alternator not charging but then I noticed when I unlock the car its like the pump is struggling to unlock, could it be an electrical "leak" persay?

Any help appreciated!

Cheers guys

if its going dead that quickly you will most probably need a new battery mate

It may be the battery,it may be an "electrical leak" as you say......charge up the battery and disconnect one of the battery leads overnight to see if it's the battery or a "leak".
