I presently have a Disco I, 300 TDi, dated Feb 1995 (i.e. the last models before the fly by wire came in), it is a former english car (RHD)
I noticed when reinstalling the battery I heard the click of an activated relay, and I measured some 150 mA idle current
after some click-hunting the culprit was found in the small closet at the passenger's feet : a relay that is always activated even with ignition key taken out
On Rave I found a 1995 electrical manual but covering LHD cars, while it is usually helpful for other areas, it wasn't in this case: it shows 3 relays and several connectors in this area, while I only have 2 relays and nothing else
there are a relay on a yellow socket and another on a blue socket (the latter being my culprit) the wire colors don't match any of those given in the manual (my colors are blue-red, brown-purple, solid black and brown-orange)
I took the relay off to check what it controls, and didn't find anything, all accessories seems to function as usual
if someone with an english 1994-1995 car could shed some light, not on the relay itself as I can do it with my torch, but on it's supposed function, that would be much welcome !
