Bad weather this week showing battery is on last legs.

 

But check the boot light with the hatch shut. Take parcel shelf out to see if it's on all the time. Switch is inside the lock clasp on the hatch and they sometimes stick on. Part No. 333 947 561 if you need to change it.

Or the switch hasn't been fitted quite correctly and so is not pushed open cicuit when hatch is closed to switch the boot light off.

Although here's another one.

Car OK charging battery, battery OK on battery load test tool but put it on the car and switch the sidelights on, it's flat in just over an hour. Car in this condition only consumes 5 amps so the 44 amp hr battery should last 6 hours at least. Repeatable as well. Goes flat as a pancake to 8 volts evenly over the hour. Even when battery is charged off the car it still does it.

 

The problem is the battery as second battery is OK but why the original battery does this has been driving the garage banana this afternoon.
