As always Lee, good sound advice.
These battery drains can be an absolute dog to locate especially on "intelligent" cars like 8s. Starting at the beginning (battery) is really the best way.
I know, electricians are trained to start in the middle and decide which direction to continue in. Splitting the resultant in half each time a sample is taken. But parasitic drains are a different kettle, you can spend hours twiddling your thumbs waiting for something to happen. Isolate chunks is the only way.
