I just removed a relay under the passenger seat on the RH side, from teh rear which sorted it out, now I have to open the drivers door to adjust it, but no flat batteries anymore :)

One way to track it down, is to put an ammeter between battery terminal and the lead and pull fuses till it stops, would narrow it down at least.

That sounds like a stuck relay then, unless you have memory seats.

Bowie:
Yep, the low current feed was permanently live.... but according to the wiring diagram it went all teh way back to the fuse box with nothing switching it at all, I game up after tracing it manually etc and live with having to open the door to adjust it :)

Range Rover Blues:
The memory seats have a keep-alive memory so need a constant feed, like a radio.  Even without it I'm surpised you need to open the driver's door to adjust the seats though, they should also work in neutral.

Reggieroo:
Problem sorted now, it was the heater staying on when you turned off the ignition.

I  found a wet relay in the footwell, it was upside down & I must have a leak!
