It doesn't have the EAS & hasn't had it in the past as far as I know. I wouldn't be 100% certain how to check though, I've never looked at one with EAS before.
Range Rover Blues:
A dead giveaway is things like the front dampers being ahead of ths spring not inside it, or the brackets for the dampers still on the axle. The brackets on the rear arms for the height sensors or the holes in the top of the front radius arms for the same. Traces of the wiring loom under the driver's seat, the switches in the dash, the control box under the floor below your seat.
TBH if you don't have the ECU under your seat though I doubt it would be the cause of your battery drain. It could be down to the weather, a few batteries seem to be coping badly this winter, mine included :-k

Haven't seen any of those parts on the car so it hasn't had EAS, I've been under the seats a few time & no EAS ecu.
Thing is I wouldn't have thought it would be the battery as its been replaced recently & when it went flat the other day I put on a charged spare one & that also went flat over night.

Could be a faulty alarm / immobiliser. Some have their own batteries but if it has died then it might be draining power from the main battery.

Could be right, I might try another charged battery & leave it open over night & see what happens in the morning.
