Hi there Gentlemen,
First of all, Merry Christmas, and may I be the first to wish you all a very happy Easter too.
I have a bit of a weird problem. Back in September, I went to my Disco, only to find the battery to be almost flat. It had been fine and it (the battery) wasn't very old. I just assumed I'd left something turned on overnight even if I couldn't think what. I forgot all about it.
A few days ago, I found the same thing except that as it had been 48 hours since last using the car, the battery was so flat, it wouldn't even work the remote locking.
I had a problem a year or so back where, although fully charged, the battery failed to start the car. The symptoms were that of a dodgy earth. I cured this by adding an extra earth lead direct from the battery terminal to the bodywork. I mention this just in case the two problems are related.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please be gentle with me, I'm still pretty ignorant.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
