So I get my mate to give me a jump start everything starts working again but only for a short while then it starts doing the same sh*t I just described again. So far ive brought a battery(new) and alternator(second hand) but it still keeps happening any ideas is this transmissions related or voltage problem?

The voltage is a good indicator, but not perfect.
