Rover 75 battery issue

Pricer · 15th September 2021, 07:21

Hi all,
New here so please take it easy on me.
My grandad has a 55 plate 2.0 diesel 75 auto. It doesn’t get driven much, once every 2 weeks or so. We think something is draining the battery, even when we put a new battery on, when we go to start it a week later, it’s flat so we’ve always disconnected the battery after use which is a pain. Anyway, fast forward a couple of years and we decided To get a new battery and keep in the boot to jump off if needed. Battery light is on permanently even with the new battery installed and the brake lights stay on when everything is turned off and the key out of the ignition. When I turn the ignition on, the brake lights go out.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance
