Have you got the bum warmers fitted and if so are they turned off?

Have got a power drain problem myself that I am trying to diagnose, see thread:

Have you tried using a amp meter in series with the battery + terminal when all electric are off. See how much of a drain you are experiencing. Try removing each fuse one by one until you see a change on the amp meter. I found a change on the ABS fuse. Also have you had any non-manufacture devices fitted?

Could just be a knackered battery - have you tried a new one?

I had a car which did the same if you left it for more than a couple of days, lasted years like that - using one of those jump packs to boost it to start eventualy I got annoyed with it and bought a new battery and it was fine.

Also check the alarm system, I had a motorbike which went flat all the time even after a new battery was fitted - turned out to be a knackered battery backup in the alarm, new battery in that and it was fine.
