Finally got a solution to the battery discharge problem. The Halfords solar trickle charger has sorted her out. As I don't have power in the garage I have mounted the solar panel on the roof and run the lead through the wall & into the car. After 2 weeks sitting idle the Griff spun over like she was connected to the mains! Previously she would have been completey flat. I paid £19.99 for the charger but I think that they are now £9.99

Best £20 I've ever spent on the Griff


Cheers

We leave the Griff (the reliable one) in the drive for nearly 3 weeks (over Xmas and New Year) and it starts 1st time - I always pull out he dash fuse out so the clock doesn't drain the battery. If yours runs flat that quick it would suggest an issue.
