Not the high-line satellite nav system then?

Have you looked at the fuse board diagram to see what fuse 1, 5 and 9 are for?

Looks like your power loss is about 10 times higher than it should be in sleep mode.

Give it a week and tell us what your battery voltage is with a reading in the morning before you start the car.

If you are still in the upper end of the 12 volt range you should be OK.

Try disconnecting the CD changer - had a drain on our Facelift cured by removing the changer from the boot.

Right I've unplugged the CD changer in the boot and after about 30 minute the meter was fluctuating between 0.05-0.07 amp although sometimes it fluctuated back up to 0.13 and about but came back down straight away it kept on doing this Im putting it down to a rubbish meter
