No problem. I thought I was having deja vu.

I read somewhere that a failing/failed voltage regulator actually causes a drain on the battery, but can't remember where I saw it posted. I'm also sure that one of the forum regulars replaced theirs not that long ago, maybe in the last year or so.

I replaced my alternator earlier this year, but that was a result of a coolant bath, nothing else

Did you manage to progress this at all?
