Hey, im new to the forum but have been lurking for awhile trying to figure out a battery drawn on my 1999 series 1 disco. Ive done some troubleshooting and narrowed it down to the #2 20amp fuse in the battery compartment fuse box which is labelled "sidelights". When that fuse is in I have a draw between 1-2 amps which then settles down to 0.60-0.70 amps. When I pull that fuse the draw is around 0.15 which is fine with me. I had that fuse in and started pulling the interior fuses to isolate it even further but they had no effect. I looked at the wiring diagram and found that fuse powers up afew different things including the MFU but havent located the culprit yet. Has anyone figured this one out yet. I did come across a post by somebody with the exact same issue but there was no posted resolution.

Ive checked all the sidelights and actually replaced them with LED's. I was thinking that maybe the daytime runing module was bad or the MFU as the power goes to that too. Im going to go through it more thoroughly next week as im out of town but I was just seeing if anybody had experienced the same thing. I should mentionim in Canada so my disco may be different....ive also swapped out the V8 for the 300tdi
 
Figured out the problem. On mine it was a bad daylight running module/relay that was always staying energized. The lights werent on but the relay was energized. The relay is located behind the kickpanel under the glovebox. Its the third or forth one back and black in colour...its easy to tell though as it will be really hot if you have the same problem.
