New battery on order, I'll update further as to if this solves the problem.

Well I fitted a new battery, car started and ran for about 30-45 seconds then stopped. All the dash warning lights and error messages came on prior to the engine stopping. Took the key out, put it back in and nothing, battery was showing approx 12.4v on my multi-meter but I've got no electrics, not even internal lights such as courtesy/foot well lights.
I think it might be a time for 5ltrs petrol and a box of matches then go and get myself another Jag.
