Thats interesting, I had not thought of that as it is charging the battery. I am wisely disconnecting the battery when its not in use now and will be going to a specialist to check it out. Thank you Joe

Yes, it is a huge drain and !Removed! frustrating plus I am not mechanically minded either....

Thank you John I had recently became aware of Swallows and will be paying them a visit. I have been educating myself through all the past articles on the s type, today I thought I had solved the problem when I disconnected my phone from the parrot (which I dislike and removed from my un-sophisticated movano van} and the voltage went up from 12.2v to 12.8v, I them went for a long drive and stopped at an out of the way pub for about half an hour the voltage was showing 11.5v but it started ok, visited my local printer for another 30 minutes and drove home. Left it for 3 hours and checked again, dead. Big change from a fast drain in 15 minutes so I might be on to it.... Kind regards Graham

My battery drains completely after around 15 minutes, I bought a new one and it does the same, no warning lights or low battery warning. I did have an ingress of water through a broken finishing plate on the offside rear light cluster. I have cleaned and dried the area replaced blown bulbs to no avail, in the morning I shall unbolt the earth and check that. Any other suggestions as I recently had another electrical fault and my local Jaguar dealer traced and repaired it for £850, I am determined not to go down this route again. Any ideas what else I can do? I have spent almost £7,000 on things going wrong since I bought it 2 years ago
