Brilliant mate thank you for your help. I think like you say its time to find where the wires from the fuses go and see if i can isolate it. thanks

Been back to it swapped the MFU for my old one and have fog lights and heated rear screen again for now, removed the interior bulb near the back door, as that seemed to come on when the mfu was back in, stripped and cleaned the trailer socket because thats what fuse b6 is for and its reduced...

no worries mate i find it hard making myself clear on these forums, no matter how long winded i make my replies! Originally because of the big change when i removed fuse A12 which is for the mfu i wondered if maybe there was a separate earth for the mfu or maybe something shorted in this which...

My multimeter wouldn't give a good reading it kept going up and down and was doing the same when i removed the alt lead. Then after i restarted the engine with it all back together its showing a draw of 0.03 and isn't showing any sign of returning back to 0.7 even after I've left it for a while...

Sorry mate the MFU was intermittent before, id swapped it for another 2nd hand one and it was doing same thing. it worked for a short while and then stopped. This had stopped working before i touched the alternator and i didnt touch anything or have the multi meter in place whilst the engine was...

Thanks sierrafery although most of that went right over my head:(. The other day i pulled the fuse to the mfu (A12) and left it out. check the battery next day and it was down to 11.4v. Reconnected everything and still had a drain of about 0.70 so left it connected as i removed the large alt...

Cheers mate will check that. Also after id posted yesterday i noticed that the initial drain is 0.03 and then jumped to 0.72 after about 2 minutes?

Hi there I've owned my R reg 300tdi disco for over a year now and hardly used it because the battery drains off after a couple of days standing. Finally found bait of enthusiasm. Bought a new battery and researched how to check for a parasitic drain. Tested it and I've got a reading of 0.72...

Hi sorry to drag up a mega old thread but I've done a search for this problem and found your post. My disco is doing exactly the same. everything seems to work fine although siren is unplugged like yours and my indicators flash 3 times periodically. Did you ever solve your problem?

Cheers mate thats interesting about the grabbers I didn't realise they weren't going to be the same for much longer. Looking for 235/70/16 well that's what's on it at the minute. I've net had this much trouble with looking for tyres there's just so much choice on the same sorts of tyres

Yea was just wondering where people on here use?

Hi im looing to get some new tyres on ma disco. Looking for some all terrains and like the aggressive look of the BF goodrich. I think ive got it down to the general grabber at2 and the BF goodrich atko Where does everyone buy there tyres from the cheapest i can find them is camskill but they...

One of the discrete ones so its mounted behind the front bumper. Thats why i fort it would be alot cheaper todo it myself as there isnt alot to them. Ive been searchin ebay and can only find one but hes not sure whether its for the disco 1 or 2. And he wants 50 for plus postage and im not sure...

Hi there just wondering if anyone has dimensions for a winch mount bracket or if anyone had made there own if they have any advice. I just think £90 for a bracket is abit steep
