hi all, havent posted much here at all but anyway,
got my 93 200tdi disco and as i havent passed my test yet its been standing a while, the battery keeps going flat real quick, and though i suspect it is the original battery (as its genuine l/r) i still think theres something wrong with the vehicle, ive got a new battery on the way anway (xmas prezzie woo) . basically what sort of resistance should there be between pos + and neg - ? i would guess it should be infinate but want to check im right before i start going crazy looking for the problem, i seperated the pos + connections at the terminal and tested each individually, and both the starter motor wire and the other large main power lead have some resistance to earth (can't remeber exact figure)
is this ok? dont want to wait and find out when new battery is here and kill it by it keep going flat again.
sorry for long read but any help really useful.
cheers
