With the features switched off, I'd expect no impact of charge level over a few days, as it's only powering alarm, entry system and telematics really.

Is your XJ a gen 2.1 infotainment system ? (I found a pair of new head units in the cupboard when cleaning up)

Been a lurker on Tesla groups, when they were on the short list. There is a 'phantom' drain issue there, but I think it's due to all the cameras and sentry mode etc. Not unheard of for considerable amounts eg 20% of power lost in a week. Other functions like a climate over product to cool if car gets to hot etc are on by default.

To allay any potential concerns - the iX lost about 2% over the week we left it parked at Southampton docks last summer - and iirc yours has a larger battery than mine. I assume waking it up with the app might make it lose more, but I can't see why you'd need to.

So I was out Sunday-Thursday, came back and the i4 was on exactly the same percentage.

Yup

We need to organise that evening out we suggested last time....

Changed the rear exhaust on the galaxy, a refreshingly easy job.

I say changed, technically the old one removed itself. Which made the job easier

Hmmmm....those advisories sound worthy of a hundred page thread.

It's got to go back to Vauxhall for a re-call
rear Lower Camber Suspension Control Arm (apparently they crack )
Me and my MOT tester checked ,they look fine , 15 years old
when the arms are replaced i'll have the tracking done and new 'all season tryes' (worth a 100 page thread)
drop links are probably 15 quid the pair ,so i doubt that's worth even posting about
