>I have a 1975 Dolomite Sprint which has developed a strange problem:
Lately, when I drive the car at night (with the lights on) I find the next 
morning that the battery is completely dead.

This doesn't seem to happen when I drive during the day as the car will 
always start after daytime driving (no lights on).

Garth,

Sounds like classic symptoms of an underperforming alternator.  Check the
belt tension first.  This is too easy to overlook.  If that is tight you
may have to have a professional check the alternator performance.

Cheers

Dave
