Creedence Clearwater Revival.. Bad Moon Rising.. apt for any Range Rover owner.

I liked Johnny Cash's American albums. have those too

would just like to say thanks for your help and advise, I have come to the decision that a kill switch is not the way I shall keep looking and I will find the problem maybe it will take some time and money thanks again Rob

Aye nothing better than a bit of Cash.

I have a 1000cca 120AH on my little 2497cc. You can probably fit a larger or second one, use a plug in trickle charger? @Datatek is a electrickery wizard and likes his solar panels

it's 8 months 100amph I did a metre check it's pulling0.16amp when at sleep

Doesn't sound a lot for a car equipped like Darth Vader's bathroom. Does the manual say what it should be?

0.2 amp is 500 hours to empty on a 100 A/hr battery. That's pretty much 20 days.

0.2 amp (200Ma) will take a battery below the level that will start the car in much less then 500 hours. 30 to 50 ma is the most that is really acceptable as a constant drain, certainly not more than 80ma.

What engine have you got in it, and what year is it?

Yes, I was just trying to show how long it would take to empty the battery. P38 uses 30mA when asleep but no idea what the L322 is supposed to use.

They are thirstier.
Nearly scrapped my P38 because of parasitic drain. Reading a lot on here, particularly datateks advice and arguments raised, managed to work my way through it as a complete layman on the duff battery.
Got it to go from battery off and charging every other day, to once a month. Then upgraded to new 1000cca, all sorts of issues disappeared and no trouble since

That's just it 30ma asleep is good, but these l322 wake up through the day to do a check, and go mental, lift suspension,computers talking to each other, just about everything comes awake, as I was told its like Darth Vaders bathroom

2006 SC

ukadamwest ,it's a 2005 td6 BMW m57

My BMW M51 was same til I started unplugging and investigating. Still needed bigger battery, your M57 more so - you would need one atleast power of mine surely?

I minimised the hissy fits and waking up on the crap battery - long and arduous process - then replaced it.
Honestly the best thing I have ever done to improve the vehicle. Drives a lot surer, starts easy even if left for weeks, no more tantrums plus I do not worry anymore about how many gizmos/lights I am running or will I get my shopping back still frozen

See if this guy can help you
