Thanks for all the pointers.
Plan of action is:
- charge the battery up off the car and reinstall in the next couple of days (only because I need to move her)
- check the drain when everything is off (got a multimeter, so that's not a problem)
- If there is a drain that looks excessive, disconnect the CD changer, as that has been playing up recently. Thought it was damp in the boot, but maybe it's something else...
- drop the battery out of the car, recharge and leave alone for 10 days and check voltage. With the new lockdown starting and I'm not sure if I'm needed in the office, this shouldn't be an issue.
I've not got the FBH fitted, as far as I'm aware, so that's one off the list.
One thing I did notice last night. Did try my boost back - only suitable for up to 1800 petrol or 1600 diesel. Dash lit up nicely, but not enough to get her to turn over. About 20 seconds after trying to start (only gave her one try) the dash lights shut down. Disconnecting and reconnecting the boost pack was the only way to get any life back.
