Post by: Dioptre+150 on 22 April 2011, 09:37:44
Hi!   Going to view above car this w/end,but it has a fault!   Battery discharges over a period of three days if left standing.   Any ideas what I should look for?   Thanks.

check that all interior lights are switched off inc the boot area, then check that the alternator is charging the battery. if all ok the battery could just be past it and unable to hold the charge.

How about the power sounder? Don't they have a tendancy to discharge a battery when they're dead or dying?  :-/

No, just a tendency to set fire to the car... :-(

One that had me going mad for a while was a water bottle (could be Coke tin, tissue box etc) managed to get itself stuck between the passenger seat and door, causing the height adjustment switch staying / clicking on.
