If you've been through the obvious lights etc, have you got an alarm fitted?

Radio ?
Charge new battery and then leave disconnected this week to check batt

Have you got an Aldi/Lidl stereo with Bluetooth? They seem to have a very high drain when on standby. Other thing to check is that it's being charged ok when you're driving. Do you get a dim glow from the charging and sediment light when the engine is running?

I had a new battery in December 2014 & followed through lots of things but it was a duff battery got it replaced by garage that sold it to me. Would u believe it! Thanks to you all for the help though.

I am looking at using rustmaster in Hatfield to get bongo undersealed! Has any anyone used them before?? Would appreciate ur feed back.

Was it a Euro car parts Lion battery by any chance ?

We had the same problem with our V6. It came down to the stereo/satnav memory circuits drawing power. Only option was to connect to the ignition but this would wipe the unit memory every time it was turned off. We bought a new Bosch starter battery ( the old one was a Lion battery) and to date we have had no problems.

If you have a LB you could always use that to connect the permanent feed while leaving the switched feed on the SB ignition circuit. I've rigged up a switch-controlled relay to allow the switched feed to come from either battery so it can go on & off with ignition for normal use, but left on permanently while on-site.

The Knutsford branch of Rustmaster under-sealed my Bongo in October and I would happily recommend them - very satisfied with the service and the result.
