My battery goes flat in about three days.

I have a brand new battery which has tested fine and have tested the alternator which is also fine and the starter motor which is fine.

There is nothing left on and I have checked what I can.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your help is very much appreciated and all the best to you!!!

could be many things fella few easy checks would be when u lock the car up make sure no internal lights are staying on i.e glove box boot light etc if that checks out ok,can try some common items one at a time first one i would try is disconnect the radio with it out see if drain has gone if not disconnect cig lighter etc,failing that could be a fault with a alarm etc

we had a prob like this on traceys old saff.fucked me right off.ended up being a tracker in it that we didnt know of that the battery had gone flat on and it was draining the car battery.

may be worth a hunt?

if you disconnect the earth terminal from the battery and put a multimeter between it and the battery it will tell you how many milliamps are being drained...... pull the fuses out the fuse box one by one ,and see what effects the drain the most, go from there...

it may be something simple,like boot light staying on.... work out what fuse it is that has the most effect of the parasitic drain, and then work out what is connected to that fuse.
