Any one throw a light on this (pardon the pun) The other week I parked up and left the side lights on in error, on return to car, idtec 2011, 8 hours later the battery was flat as a you know what, The other day I got phone call from the Mrs she too had left the lights on on her Jazz for about 6 hours and yes the battery was flat, manage to get her started by jumping from the accord. I seem to recall in the bad old days that cars had to be parked on streets with obligatory lights on all night, or during the hours of darkness and most would start up next morning. Is it the draw of the bulbs or the silly squeaky warning that sounds doing the damage? IMHO there are too many alarms on these modern motors, i.e. key in ignition, door open, seat belt not fastened boot/tailgate not shut, the list is endless. Or am I being too argumentative.
