That would be about 114km (about 71 miles). Have to admit, I've never heard of them before?

It then reduced to a stable 2.12 amps after about a minute.
After about a further minute or so it fell to 0.09 amps. This coincided with the video module (I have highline sat. nav.) fan switching off. I waited for a good few minutes longer and the current remained stable at 0.09 amps.
MG Rover says that after 20 minutes I should expect half this current. I'll return then to take another reading.

Thanks for your effort Simon.
Mine does a very similar thing as yours does (apart from the sat nav thing). And mine stays at 0.07. If I wait long enough (about an hour), it goes down a lot (0.01) but jumps up and down all the time. It can go from 0.01 to 0.1 and back to 0.01 within a second. It's not always up to 0.1, it seems to give total random numbers.
I'll make a video of both situations and put it on Youtube. Maybe that'll help.
