He says there is a charger they use that can tell me how much charge the battery actually has and suspects it's down to around 60-70% which would indicate battery on its way out.
He recommended a battery change and guaranteed it should fix the message so I'm taking it to him tomorrow to check the battery level
Sounds promising mate.

Have you disconnected the battery from your car and left it a day or so to see if it drops voltage?
