I thought unplugging the CD changer sorted it but it hasn't IV had an auto electrician come round and he says can't remember exactly that it's drawing 70 milliamps he's took all the fuses and relays out but it still didn't cause the amps to drop. He sayed it could be an ecu that's tracking if there is any damp that's got in

It was actually 700 mllliamp it drew initially then dropped down to between 130-150 milliamps he said there could be a fault in the ecu

Well had a another auto electrician on it and it's drawing 200 milliamp according to him he said he has unplugged the BCU the engine ECU and lots of other electrical things and nothing is causing it to drop he said it's a case of just unplugging things until it drops.

No-one appears to have tried unplugging the alternator....

I would've thought unplugging the BCU would have turned all the electrics off I think it's a case of unplugging everything on the car behind the doors and behind the dash. He said the drain is definitely come from inside the car. The drivers rear footwell has been wet due to a boot leak I wonder if there's damp that might have got on something electrical.
