Hi all...
So I have had the car for a few months I got it for very cheap as I thought I would be able to fix the battery drain issue no problem as the alternator was on the way out and ***umed it was that, I have changed the alternator over a month ago and no change it still drains when left in park. The multimeter reads 0.24 and fluctuates briefly to 0.46 which I believe is just the alarm flickering so that seems normal, the drain can vary between going flat in just 4 hours to over 24H, new battery as well and has also been tested. Battery clamps are tight and have been cleaned so no debris or corrosion.
I am really stumped and don’t know where to go from here, new battery, no apparent parasitic drain, new alternator and the clams are tight.
Anyone have any idea as this is becoming really frustrating as the car is brilliant to drive and great and spacious but I shouldn’t have to cross my fingers every tome I try to start it.
Many thanks and stay safe people
