Hi all I've been having a battery drain problem freelander 1td4
Every couple of days the battery is dead , so I remove the battery charge up 2or 3 days later flat again the battery is new I read somewhere on here the radio can cause the battery to drain even when not on so I removed the fuse from fuse box now the battery is fine car has not been started for 2 weeks today fired up no problem so my question !

Is the fault with the wiring for the radio or the radio Itself I was going to change the radio cd for a after market one
Thanks in advance

Ground is crap or you just drive eco (under 1700RPM) which causes alternator not charging the battery.

A TD4 alternator is geared to provide sufficient alternator speed to charge the battery from idle, like all modern cars.
