Ok this one is confusing me,
open the car using central locking everything is fine. go to turn the car on lights come on then as soon as i go to start the car lights all go dead and nothing not even a flutter of ignition.
weird thing is is that i opened my bonnet and could not see anything wrong so i thumped my battery is anger :). thus doing this the central locking started to work again.
i close the bonnet and think wahey ive fixed it, ..... it happens again :s
so i do the same again open the bonnet thump the battery but this time leave it open until i try to start the car which works this time 
but it keeps happening  i did notice that i have a whirring noise when revving but thought this was sue to spraying it with belt slip spray.
and ideas would be great
thanks

Check your battery earth - make sure it's got a good connection to the battery and there is no corrosion either end of the lead.
Also, check your earth strap to gearbox, as these are known to perish over a while

Well since the Earth lead is loose,then it's the cause of the problem,as when you try to start the car,there is a heavy load on the battery,and the (+) and (-) terminals,so if you have a loose one,that means poor connection,and you will have a very hot lead which is something dangerous and risky to have,and can cause serious damage to your car ECU and BSI,so make sure you tight it well.

Get a new earth lead, or change the connector on the end to fit your battery
