    hi, had this car come in a few days ago with customer complaining of an intermittent flat battery (sometimes 2 days sometimes 4 or 5 days, checked car over and found it has a new alternator and new battery fitted, the battery tested out ok as did the charging 14.8v.. next morning the battery was completely flat not even any dash lights. charged battery checked nothing was on ie interior or boot lights all ok. checked for live fuses with no key in car and with a multi-meter on the battery pulled the fuses one at a time with no voltage change on any. also there is no spark when connecting the battery(no large current draw) is it possible something could be switching on ? not sure how else to check.
    many thanks kevin
