ainarssems - I did have the ignition on. I will check that battery voltage later this morning which may give a clue and let you know.

That tells me you quite possibly have a leak in the suspension somewhere. If there is a leak then the suspension will be trying to level it's self periodically while your away from the car.

I don't know however if it will run the compressor or just use what's in the accumulator.

The other thing that jumps out is the instrument cluster fault. It's vague but I have seen on two occasions now where a faulty cluster keeps the can bus awake while the car is locked and that flattens the battery.

You can easily tell if the can bus is awake by looking to see if the lights around the gear shift are lit up at night when the car has been locked for more than 10 mins
Hi Delboy,

I can confirm that gearshift lights do not remain on.

After a few days though, the suspension does sit lower and it always needs to raise itself first. I've always had this for as long as I can remember but never had any suspension lights on.

How could I check if I have a leak?

Cheers guys.

Oli
