This business of the alternator diode playing up.
How can I check this?
There is no light on the dash saying the battery is not charging.

Define flat - no headlights on bright? I ask because after months after checking /charging batteries, monitoring the OBD charge, my son-in-law's car just refused to start even with a fresh battery. Previously a freshly charged battery always got it started, but yesterday (thankfully) I heard the tell-tale solenoid click. Out with the starter in with a spare and burst into life on the same battery. Should have realised this sooner but the starting with extra juice always helped, solenoid kit now ordered as the spare starter was from a 1999 car.
