I would suspect a problem with one of the computers.

Might have to hook up an ammeter & start unplugging them one at a time.

Does it have any accessories wired in that might not be turning off? Ours is a D2a and came with a DVD player - same problem. Took the auto-electrician ages to track it down 'cos it's wired in a bit strangely and a circuit was staying open even with the key off and out. Result = dead battery after a couple of days. :(

I have this problem too... only to a lesser extent. One tip someone suggested was going through the fuse box with your ammeter to see what was draining. I thought that was a great idea and intend to do it myself soon. :)

I'll be interested to hear if it ends up being the problem. I took mine out and sent it back to them (Eurovox I think it was) but they said it was all fine and sent it back :angel:

Only consolation is, I put it back in and it's been right ever since :D

Easy way to check is stick your ear near it, you'll soon know if it's running.
