Well, with the weather being better, I tried the ‘fooling the car that it’s locked’ approach and then left it for about 30 minutes. The test across the negative terminal and cable then read about 1.4 amps on initial connection, but dropped quickly (no more than a few seconds) to 0.4 amps where it stabilised. I put in a new battery and will test it again later today to see if it lost any charge overnight.
