I'm guessing that when I tested this I must have done something wrong which is annoying because I could've saved myself a few quid but you live and learn I suppose.
Unfortunately he wasn't able to find the exact culprit in the time he had to look at it but for now I can live with just pulling this fuse out when I'm not using the car.
Cheers for the advice.
How often do you use your car? I found my battery kept going flat especially in Winter when the weather is shit and the car was left for weeks at a time. I keep my 2wd Saff in a garage that does not have 240v power in it so I recently fitted a solar powered trickle charger on the back of the roof and connect it direct to the battery and it works realy well and keeps the battery topped up all the time. They dont cost much but is worth thinking about so the car will always start ok when you want to take it out.
