    catcher tank and alternator

    First post!

    Can anyone advise where to purchase an oil catcher tank for sub £50 if possible.

    Also I brought this 5 gtt around two months ago around two days after having it parked up (due to weather conditions) the battery was flat i put this down to bad luck and decided to just replace the battery which was looking old and tired was my best option but three weeks on it's dead again. The car is used a few times a week but is warmed up most days. Could it be that the alternator is not producing enough juice to power for the two subs and amps in the boot or that it is simply time for a new alternator too?

    any help would be much appriciated cheers guys
