Alternator at fault? Solved

Suzuki Swift 2007 Swift VVT 142655 miles

Car doesn't seem to hold enough charge to start recently. Feels like flat batter. ,eps and abs light come on,power steering goes stiff until it's running for a min or so. Does go if jump started or push Started. Its embarrassing as fk. Something is draining the battery or not holding charge...no so swift eh.

After some time looking at the battery,re-earthing the negative leads,terminals and the terminal leads I discovered my negative terminal had split completely in half on the underside so I replaced the negative terminal with a led one and that fixed the problem.
