After all the research and time spent on trying to diagnose the problem I've finally given up hope and begun looking for a workaround rather than a solution.
You need to get a car booster than will handle 900A.Something like this but you best source it out locally is a car parts shop.Mine cost me €95.00 and will handle 1000A.SILVERLINE 12V 900A AIR COMPRESSOR JUMP STARTER BATTERY BOOSTER LEADS | eBay
BTW,no point getting one that holds 400A ,cause it wont start your car!

Try to find out whats discharging it ,is a better solution ,as some have adviced here..Good luck

Thank you, that's just the type of information I'm looking for.
Looking at the product linked in your post I can see that it says "Provides either a starting boost of 400A or a peak boost of 900A". I assume that "starting boost" is what I am looking for? Any idea what "peak boost" means practically?

Best regards,
Peter
