rite my car wouldnt start this morning (dead battery for some reason) so i called the rac out to charge me up. when he got here he said i had a 3 amp drain on my battery, a standard drain is around 0.3 amps. my sub and amp has been out for 2 weeks now so its not anything like that. i had an alarm fitted around a month and a half a go. he said possibly the alarm guy could have connected the live feed up wrong. but surely that would have drained it quicker than that. wot u guys think?

well as u leave ur car alarmed at night it will drain it over nite i suggest goin bk to the company who fitted ur alarm as u should hav some sorta garuntee even on the workmanship always worth a try.

Sounds like the earths and live feeds are down together mate. Sure some one on the site had this recently.

Ah - a suitable thread for my post ! I had my car standing at home for a week and a half (while I was visiting the UK ...). I left the alarm/immobiliser active all that time, and it's winter here in SA now so temperatures go below zero at night ! I put the key in, gave her about 3 turns and she ran as nicely as you please - although admittedly it did take about a minute for oil pressure to built up in the valve lifters and the rattling to stop ...

So if your battery is flat after a night, there's deffinately something amiss !
