1976 XJ6 3.4ltr - battery issue

Andy Farmer · 2022-09-20T14:23:30+0000

Fitted a new battery last weekend after some starting issues. I think the battery removed was the original one. So with a new battery installed the car started perfectly. Flat battery again yesterday yet it was fine on Saturday. Engine started perfectly on Saturday. I have checked for the obvious culprits such as internal/external lights being left on, all off. Radio, off, heater controls, off. Something is clearly draining the battery. I don't think it has any electrical connections but the bonnet has been left open for a number of days. Any ideas ?
