Battery yen
My daughter has a W Reg Rover 25 on which the electrics fail periodically. No faults have been found in a full auto-electric check and the battery can be reactivated with jump leads. As she carries young children she is desperate to find a solution. I would be grateful for your advice please.

One very likely problem (that the auto electrician should know about) is the boot light circuit. The boot light stays on, unseen, and drains the battery. So try removing the boot light bulb.
