Fellow battery drain sufferers...
Battery would struggle to last a week. Today discovered the engine compartment light (had no idea it even existed!) And it wasn't lit when engine cover open.
Bulb appeared fine, tested ok with multimeter and connectors were giving 12v... then noticed that the bulb wasn't seating correctly in the holder and the design is such that it is easy to short circuit the terminals if the bulb isn't in correctly. Reseated it properly and now it works.
Hopefully this works! However I do wonder if it would matter because the circuit would close when engine cover is down? Any ideas folks?
