Confirm electrical fault! Always start by making sure the radio has a good solid earth. Once that is sorted if need be run a direct fused supply from the battery, in simple terms it will be the supply or earth, just a process of elimination really.

Also check the earths on the lights and heater

I would be checking the earth point on the inner front wing behind the battery. I bet it's rusted to f**k.

I had a similar problem, just before ie about 30mins, before I discovered the alternator wasn't working, and she wouldn't start
