Hi Neil. Have you checked it out yet. ?? If not, I wouldn't take it for granted, as there are lots of reasons that could cause it to drain the battery in 24 hours, If it is the ecu, you need to put your ammeter in between the neg lead and post, turn ignition on and then off and see how much is leaking out, leave it to stand for 5 or 10 minutes and see if it drops off. We did one yesterday and it turned out to be a faulty alternator. battery drain after 5 minutes should be around 0.02A. Oh, I think if you fit a relay, it needs terminal 85 and 86 to ign feed and earth, and chop the white/pink wire or pink/black (not 100% sure on colour) from ecu to relay and put each end to terminal 30 and 87.
