Electrical issue
Morning Gary Welcome to the Forum Even a relativley new battery can die fully charge the battery (make sure you use the charge points under the bonnet) measure the voltage engine off key out at the charge points it should read 12.5 to 12.8v below 12v is either dying battery or a dead short somewhere. Once battery is at full charge engine running measure again you shouls see 14.8v indicating a healthy alternator. Engine off key out let the car go to sleep (takes up to 10 mins) then measure amperage at the under bonnet charge points you should se a few milliamps (clock, memory items etc) if your seeing higher you have a paracitic drain which will need tracking down. Check the starter motor a failing one can kill a battery really fast Hope this helps Dave -

Morning Paul I believe you can also get an adhesive to stick it back, goes without saying the screen and disc have to be really clean and dry Dave -
