Well it is not over yet. Been going on for months now but at least at the moment it takes about a month between total drains of the battery. So a very random thing that happens to the car to drain it out of the blue overnight. And last night as I walked past it I SAW the problem! My radio was on!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And no I did not leave it on. It was on but there was no graphics on the screen. All the other lights in the car were off and only the lights of the radio was on. Got in and tried to switch it off. Nothing. Started car. Still did not want to switch off. So in the end looked in the manual to take the radio fuse out. That did the trick and it went dead and immediately the CD changer inside started its start up whirr and all was well.
Now why does the fuses not look the same as the fuses printed in the manual?!! Manual says radio fuse is top left second from the top. There was NO fuse in this top right spot at all! When in fact the radio fuse was bottom right second from the bottom. Hence me going bottom right. Well it immediately worked whether it was the radio fuse or not.
Now. Where do the boffins think the problem is? Inside the Symphony II? The connection to it? The fuse? Ideas appreciated.
