Well, it IS holding charge. I'll jump it, drive it to wherever I need to go and it'll work fine the morning after. Now if I leave for up to 2 days or more, it won't start. Is it a case of the battery just being fucked completely, or some underlying problem? Never really had a problem with it before (it's about 2 years old).

Sounds like the batteries holding charge for a little time then after a few days loses charge due to been knackered. Best bet replace battery if problem persists look further.

Also if you can get hold of a multi meter put that on the battery and see what volts are going through it. Should be between 12 and 14v.
