Hi, we got to the cause and for the last 2 months it’s been fine. It was the ignition switch 👍🏻 All of that trouble for something so cheap and easy. Hope you sort out your issue 

Hi Dave, just a quick one as I know you know your stuff 🙂 with the car we are trying to eliminate. So I just had my mechanic round to check the alternator and it’s testing at what it should be between 13-14. Even though it’s testing ok could it still be the alternator causing the problems I’m having? As we think it’s definitely something to do with something draining. Thanks 

Me again, unfortunately it’s not the cd system causing the drainage of the battery. We did unplug it and it was working for a few days and it’s now doing it again, I think the next thing is the alternator. It’s very annoying! 

Thanks so much for your help very much appreciated. I will keep you updated and fingers crossed.

thanks 

I’m going to show my partner your reply and he can try and go through everything you have suggested. Yes very strange and must have something to do with a drainage somewhere. The battery I purchased was Lion Car Battery - 115 Amp Hours (Ah): 80Ah

When we first bought the car the CD player wasn’t working, when taking a look at it there was a wire not plug into it so now I’m thinking was it not plugged in for a reason?!

Hi, thanks for taking the time and giving me information. You really know your stuff! So I purchased a new battery as I can remember around 8months ago they tested it and it was running low. We changed it and the problem went, it started numerous times and the radio worked all fine. The next day it done it again, it’s like something is draining the battery quickly as why would it start after changing and work then the next day it does it again?! It’s so frustrating 

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. With the first post it is literally everything my car is doing. I really just wanted to know what outcome they had and if they sorted it by doing the things they said. 

Hi, I’ve just read your post, I have a bmwx5 and everything you have said I am having the same problems. Exactly what you have described, just wondering did you manage to fix or find out what was causing it? Help!!!!
