:) So it looks as if hopefully with all of your invaluable knowledge and advice my auto electrician has traced the drain to the RF receiver as with it turned off there was no drain! In fact the drain was only 0.5 amps which is what I read on the AA machine but the guy insisted that meant 5 amps...

Great. Thanks for the info. This is a great site. Wish I had found it sooner. Hey ho. Possible blonde question but how do I check if the fuses are faulty other than looking burnt out? Or could it be the whole fuse box itself? Could that be causing anŷ of my other issues aswell as the...

Unfortunately this is a different garage to the rip off one in Devon where I asked them to 'look at' the heater as it doesn't get very warm but clearly stated I didn't want to spend anymore than £200 on fixing it as wasn't vital only to be hit with a bill for £700 for a new heater matrix and all...

This is good news as obviously the becm is the most expensive to replace. I am hoping it is the RF receiver from the blogs I have read on here. My LR garage in North London is NOT the garage which said they bypassed the becm to fix my heater and replaced the compressor. That garage was in Devon...

Would this accumulator cause a drain in the battery? I understand the difference between Automatic Braking System and Electronic Automatic Suspension but just thought it may be relevant to mention this fault coming up

But would the leaky compressor be the cause of the battery drain and indicator lights flashing when the engine is off (which has been going on for years but only recently causing the engine immobilisation.....oops! May have just answered my own question?)? Since having the compressor changed (I...

I've had issues with the EAS off and in and replaced the compressor about 6 months ago and noticed a couple of the fuses under the bonnet on the drivers side at the front of the box were extremely hot and looked as if they may have burnt? The same garage was meant to have changed the fuses but I...

I have a 4.6 Vogue 2000(Y) and my battery which has been tested as fine is draining 5 amps! Leading to either the engine being immobilised or a flat battery more and more frequently especially when it's very cold. For some time now the indicator lights are flashing intermittently when the car is...
