I would have thought that more than 30 to 40ma is unacceptable. Why would the lpg system be drawing 40ma when the system is shut down? Interior lights should be off and the clock should draw next to bugger all, 10ma for the alarm is when the LED flashes I would guess and is about right. So 40ma for the lpg and 10ma for the alarm = 50ma that should be about it with the interior lights off, so where is the other 60ma going?Read the whole thread with interest as i've been suffering with battery drain in my classic lse for the last 4 years... ever since i've had the car with brand new battery fitted the battery would only last less than 2 weeks without use, now the battery is old and knackered i'm only getting a few days between use before it's too flat to start the old girl. I'm glad i don't have a modern rangie with all those warning lights and clever ecu'syes i appreciate that i need a newun but wanted to sort the problem first before i knacker another battery
so i finally went through battey drain checks.. i'm getting a 110 ma draw with everything connected and alarm armed, lpg system is using 40ma alarm seems to be using 0-10 ma fluctuating while armed and int lights/clock etc using 30ma could someone with more knowledge advise whether this amount of current draw is accetable please
did checks by pulling all fuses from main fusebox on dash one at a time with doors shut and bonnet switch wedged in, still had 60-70 milliamp drain i couldn't find... guess i need to check all the other fuses dotted about such as fuel relay and under seat stuff... indeed why is lpg drawing so much when everything is off? there are 2 fuses to it's loom, a 7.5a with no drain and a 20a which is drawing 40 mili there is a problem since new alarm was fitted and fitter couldn't suss the wiring sooo the interior lights only work via the dash switch and not door pins so maybe interior lights have some kind of relay?
right guys

I've been having a nightmare with power issue on my L322!
Finally worked out it must be the DVD sat nav drive...
Disconnected said device and hey presto, no power drain since!
Managed to source a new drive, thinking it must be the unit... Plugged it in yesterday... Battery dead today...!
HELP!!!

Open boot, open side cover, wait for the little red light to go out...Dragging this thread up again guys, my bitch has eaten another battery grrrrr
John L - Where did you disconnect the satnavdrive, in the boot left hand side panel? If so, what plug did you pull? I never use the satnav in my TD6 so am tempted to disconnect it to see if it helps??
Hope you got yours sorted mate, after all this time
