The battery is very new (weeks!) but I've been messing around in the car a lot with doors open, not least replacing the NSR door window mech so probably drained it down a fair bit. Though I did go to ADI after that which is a long run. It will get a good long trickle charge now (24hrs?) and I'll monitor it for a while.

I'm fairly familiar with the wiring around the sunroof/fan and have actually installed an isolator switch to disable the solar-powered fan. The way that all works if there is a drain it's somewhere else. Just odd the two things together, though with only a few short runs in recent days that may just be my perception not reality!
