    Battery drain

    Mmmmmmmmm If your getting a 0.31 mA drain that is not excessive, anything below 50mA is not classed as excessive, what I'm not sure about is the setting you are using on your meter. If your just measuring amps and not milli-amps it should read 0.05A (50mA) or less.

    Battery drain

    To avoid confusion I'd re-check the reading on the Amp scale and put up exactly what the meter says after 30 mins with keys out and all door shut and for good measure disconnect the bonnet switch.

    TDV6 engine system fault P062D

    From my experience, with the driver circuit, it's usually an injector failure but that said if your runing the Jag loom that may cause conflicting issues, not the answer I know but thought I'd chip in with that!

    Discovery 1 1997 Transfer box seized

    That can be a good sign, I usually means it's not had much need for low range. Mine was seized solid and as JM said, strip it out, stick the mechanism in a vice and apply loads of WD40 and elbow grease and it should free up eventually!

    What make of battery?

    I've been using/supplying Halfords batteries for years and yet to come across a failed one (under warranty and due to the battery being the fault), if you know someone with a Halfords trade card ask them to get it as they get a hell of a discount on Halfords own brand batteries.

    What make of battery?

    To carry out a battery drain test with a multi meter, you need one with an amp scale(usually about 10A). First of all make sure you select the amp socket on the multi meter(it usually has the amp rating in brackets and is fused). Once you have the leads on the amp setting and also have the meter...
