You need a multimeter with amps on 10A min. take off earth lead and connect earth to earth pole on battery and positive to earth lead and make sure igy off and key out before starting, best if truck locked. check drain if its a digital unit should read about 0.08A with no consumers on. if its up around 0.12A you've got a high draw, start removing fuses and watch to see if drops. when it drops you've found your draw. i haven't used the volteage check but i do use this method at work and it works most times just make sure that the meter is fused should say 10-20A max.

Spotted that in the maplins book but can not see if it's fused realy needs to be fused cause if not can cause a lot of greif and heart ache cause if it aint protected and you get to much draw will burn out meter i know 10A's is a lot of draw but if it's a diesel and glow plug relay stuck in you could be drawing upto 40A and i have known this to happen don't half give you a shock when leads start to melt

Chickens still there, though in greatly reduced numbers. Mainly a batchelor pad of cockerels, very few hens there.

Currently with a 2.3td 5dr, slow, noisy, smokes a lot, and I love it. Girlfriend wondered what I was going to get next as Fronty out of MOT soon. Told her I didn't need a change of vehicle,(Must be something to this fronty lark as I never said that before!!)
