Take a look at the main range rover forum there is someone going through a similar thing with their l322 and there could be something in it for you?

There are a few possibilities for that model including FSR. As mentioned above but also water ingress in boot, headlight wipers if you have them(stopped at 05). Search battery drain on here and you will find dozens of threads. Only real way is parasitic drain test with an ammeter connected in series, tricking car to think doors are shut and then pulling fuses. It’s all on here. Battery disconnect procedure should be followed or you could brick your sat nav

From what I can gather from this forum, any rangerover made in the past ten years or so will suffer a flat battery if it's left unused for a couple of weeks. Their owners are a special breed of people who deserve the utmost respect and pity.

A P38 with a fully charged battery of the correct size in good condition will stand for over 3 weeks and still start OK.
If going to be left for longer, a solar panel sorts it.

Thats kinda true but it's usually the electrics, not the battery. There are lots n lots of gremlins in the l322, some even have their own swimming pool. If the gremlins are on holiday then the battery will last. I used to park mine up for 3 months at at time and, on return, she would start first time.

Checked the boot already and there's no water in there, and the headlight wipers are still sat in the same position since I brought it. I've started the fuse pulling already. Thank you

If the battery is correct, then it's gremlins

Yes the battery is correct and I had it tested after I charged it and it was good
