Er, rac are ****ing useless! Sorry let's not be derogatory so are the aa and green flag! Get it started put a voltmeter across the battery? What you got?
A reasonablly charged battery wouldn't of discharged overnight, unless you have a significant current drain.

Charge then drop test the battery..
What "make" of alternator did you use...??
Cheap recon ones tend not to work at all,as im pretty sure the CDti has a smart charge system..
