I appear to have a continuous electrical drain on the system of my 2003 petrol RR. Now so long as I use the car every couple of days then this is fine but more than 3 days and the car is dead. Now the the dealer has had it a couple of times and so far he ahs not fixed the problem!!! All he has managed to do is change the alternator at a cost of £600. Has anyone had a similar problem and what was the cure and has anyone any idea how I stand for work that has not fixed the problem?

I've monitored it and it as it goes into shut down mode it simply keeps draining the battery so something isn't shutting down. I thought of the alarm so I left it unlocked with the alarm off and it still didn't start.

It turns out it was the ECU on the aircon! Even though the car was 4 yrs old the dealer and LR footed the bill! Can't say fairer than that, I'm well impressed! I can't wait to get it back!
