I had similar problem with my brand new BMW 4 years ago now, dealer changed battery and it still went flat, offered to change it again but i demanded further investigation, turned out the battery was constantly feeding juice to the chassis!! |

Had the same problem with mine a couple of weeks ago. Landrover assist said is was due to a software fault not sutting down radio.

As i was saying the Blue tooth is run through the radio system and it didn't shut down when I removed the key from the dash I did have car parked up for 2 week at the airport and it started ok after that. |

I'm not sure how much power the blue tooth use's, but an fully charged 80amp hour battery (which is fitted to my landyrover) with a slow drain of 2.5amps = 30 watts of power would fully discharge the battery in 32 hours. My motor had at least 24 hours of dicharge, which would of only left under a third of the battery power in the battery (not enough to start the engine from cold

I am working away all week travelling by air. Car will be parked for 5-6 days, I wonder if it will start when I return or will the battery be flat again?

This could be a stupid thing, but don't let anything in the second 12v plug (the one in de back of the center console) as this one doesn't shut off. I had a phone charger (without phone connected) on it and some hours later needed power from another car. I'm aware that most of you afready knows this, but it can be something that slip out our mind (or is this only happening with me?) Fl2 zermattsilver TD4 S man |

only problem with leaving it in 24/7 is that the charger will fail prematurely as this happened once when i left a charger in whilst i went on holiday for a couple of weeks, car started fine too Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |
