Hi all, I have the same problem and carried out a test by pulling the fuses put of each circuit as described in the solution and found that it was the 100amp fuse the one with a squiggly line on it, ignition circuit I do believe. My car is a 2.0 cdt diesel.
A friend said it could be the glow plug heater circuit at fault. The reading on my multiple meter is about 2.50 amp drain.
I don't know if it is a coincidence or not, but I have just had a Towbar fitted. But I'm sure that it isn't anything to do with that as it was fitted by a reputable company
Any help would be appreciated.
