Battery dumping

[olly986]

Hi all, changed battery thinking it was dead, put new one and if car is not driven for 4/5 days the battery is totally flat, starter was replaced last week as it was weak to start car, but it seems that it was just not getting enough juice, so wht can drain the battery that quickly ? Another thing happening, the radio when on keeps "loading cd" if I switch the radio off, it comes back on by itself ! The central locking when driving goes on/off too, Any ideas ? My mechanic is a little lost

You need a decent auto electrician not a regular mechanic, sounds like you've got a parasitic drain from a faulty unit, but you'll need someone experienced to track it down.

Otherwise you're just guessing till you happen across the right part.
