Yes indeed i found the door problem as in shutting the doors hard then stopped the footwell lights coming on, but it got worse and worse so i unplugged the lamps and it seemed to sort things out. but i dont drive the car very often as i have 3 bikes to use as im an instructor and its my job. Even on tick over i get around 14 volts so im assuming the charging system is working and in the past if its not (on any car) you get a red light up on the dash board. This is not happening so the drain is still there some where.

your feed back is well welcome though so many thanks.
