No heated seats sharpshooter.........I'll go out and try the other sugestion tomorrow. As im well into my second bottle of red at this moment. The fuse is a 15a, marked up as number 5 - Engine management in the manual
May just be a short on the feeding cable, once had a Nissan Cabstar that shorted direct where the main wiring loom passed thru the chassis, not good considering it was onyl a year old!!
I'm open to suggestions and tips as im not an auto sparkie.

Hi Joe
Have you tried disconnecting the alternator... I know that Sharpshooter has mentioned it - My Disco was draining at 2.4amps... doesn't take long at that rate!
Fitted new alternator... no longer have a drain, nor do I have a starting problem (at the moment... 8-[)
Set your ammeter between the +ive terminal on the battery and the +ive lead (the one that has the drain) and disconnect things or pull fuses until you find the culprit (noting comments about ABS and airbags etc...)... my money is on knackered diodes in teh alternator though...

Rob. He has already done this and discovered the problem lies with the control module wiring. But he is having difficulty pointing to the exact wire. Problems we have all had in the past by the sound of it. :)
