Hi Vinnie,
That's because there's not a lot more any of us can add.
Your quiescent current isn't significantly different to mine. We both have periodic excursions to a higher value. In the absence of anyone else prepared to take the same readings the possibility remains that this is either normal or we both have a fault. Unfortunately our cars are not directly comparable; we have different ECMs and other equipment.
My horn doesn't sound with only the bonnet open either.
You don't need to buy a new battery every six months. Spend some money on a smart maintenance charger instead and use it every time the car is left for a long period. C-tek products are compact, well made and reasonably priced.
I'm pleased that you raised this topic Vinnie. I had no idea that my quiescent current behaves the way it does, so thank you.
Simon
