Yes, the clutch needs to be depressed to start, but this was not the problem as the interior lights, clock, everything was dead as well. I have also been having the electrics cut out while driving, although the engine keeps running.
I am getting 14volts from the alternator. Shouldn't all the power required to run the electronics in the car come from the alternator while the engine is on? What I mean is, once the car is started, you could remove the battery and the radio etc should still run? or is this not the case?

whats important is the resistance of the earths are .
Rex-leggy, what should I be checking with the resistance of the earths? I have a multimeter but my skills extend to getting volt readings and that is about it.
Cheers
