Well ive just been out and done some more investigation work

With the enginer running the volts across the terminals are 12v increasing to 14.5 when revved up. Amps in the feed to the main auxilery fuse and relay box under the bonnet increase to 80+

With the engine off and ignition off Im as i metnioned earlier pullin 8.5 amps on the feed. I have removed a few select fuses from the main box fuse box under the enine and found that the fault appears to be on the 15a circuit marked up as 'Engine Management' in the manual!! when this is removed the amps drop down to 0.1 - 0.3

It appears i may have found the faulty circuit - but as to what is causing the fault i dont know.....Ive got a feeling its going to be expensive tho if engine management is involved!

Tommo:
Fit a battery isolator switch and get in the habit of isolating it at night.

JOB DONE.

joe90:
Not a bad idea, Tommo

Just been having a scout around, seems i can pick up a Td4 ECU for about £200, i presume i need it programming tho!

Sharpshooter:
I dont think anything in the ecu should draw this sort of current. If you know which fuse it is, then try and trace the colour of it from the back. I have an auto data dvd here, and it gives me some details as to the wiring. But i need the colour of the wiring.

I know this might sound silly. But are all your lights working. Including the brake and reverse.

When you take out the fuse that appears to be on the troublesome circuit. What stops working. Try everything.

Sharpshooter:
Do you have Heated seats? Do they turn off with the ignition? I have been looking on the web, and the relay can fail, leaving them on till the battery goes flat.
