One thing to be very aware of is not to keep trying to start the car with a dodgy battery, it can corrupt the synchronisation between the immobiliser chip in the key and the car's security system. Read this.
Sir Steve,

where I can I charge a battery 24 hours?

I am willing to invest money for this gem of a car. I just want it to function. And you are right. I hate dodgy things. I will check that asap.

It really might be the battery

PS: I tried to google it, fine gents. But which battery ampere is needed for a 06.2001 Rover 75 CDT 2.0?
