    In sleep mode, everything shuts down. Before this mode, the car is expecting to be driven at any second & keeps a few things awake.
    Crikey - are there documented examples of this? Surely you'd have to park in a substation to get that kind of interference, and if so I'd be more worried about cancer than a flat battery!

    It's more telecommunication interference.
    Even the humble D2 & P38s could be stopped by simply parking outside an Amcal chemist back in the 1990s. The barcode scanner was the same frequency as the alarm.

    LR had to change the alarm frequency to get into a bit of 'clean' air.

    I hear you re the car going to sleep however where the fault has occurred has been at home, at random times, or once at another location, a nothing out of normal suburban address, where car has been many times before. So no real consistency with location, nor when it happens. I still think faulty switch/connection is more likely that shorts out, and again, car doesn't go to sleep. Battery drains right down I mean to less than 5 V, once it drops below about 10.5 the car goes crazy with lights flashing on/off etc. One thing we have noticed is that all stored phone numbers are lost, whereas all stored nav points are not. Go figure.

    yep...

    anything that transmists on the frequency of

    the key fob
    the alarm remote
    the bluetooth
    in some vehicles the reversing sensors

    can cause it to do keep awake.

    Once the battery voltage drops down to a certain level you'll get this wierdo thing happening where a bunch of stuff will power down and take load off of the battery, when the battery has a breather the voltage comes up, the items turn on and the battery voltage drops then they turn off again and that sucks the battery to death.
