draining battery
hi having problems with battery/alternator/electrics, was having trouble with my battery going flat quikly if listening to sound sytem without engine running and it seemed like the battery wasn't holding charge so i replaced the battery, worked good for a few days but now this battery is draining flat after a few days.
Just wondering if it could be something to do with the alternator? and if so what and what can i do about it? or would it be a short drianing the battery? it drains quicker with immobaliser on, if its a short any ideas where abouts it could be to save me hours of searching? any help would be great

i would say it is your alternator you could get a new one or have the one you have now repaired.

little tip i can give you...
when you open your boot and your light comes on.... does it go off when you shut it? thats what happened to me, eventually i found it, replaced the little switch that controls the light and BINGO! no more flat battery....
it might not be that but its suggestion..... by the way im guessing alternator, is your battery light on your dash constantly on and off?
does your headunit turn on and off at times while your driving?
and are your gauges accurate? for me they all stuffed up when my alternator died in the ass......

Check battery connectors
Check fault codes
Ha, thanks the boot light was on thank god saved me hours and lots of cash the battery still isn't charging though but checked regulator and it needed replacing so got good secondhand one and problem fixed for minimum cost
