Hey all,
I've had a '95 Rover Mini for 2 years now and this problem started almost a year ago, whenever I switch the lights on (with the engine running) the battery drains no matter if its sidelights or dipped beams. The battery charges if the lights aren't used and holds its charge normally too.
My experience with fixing cars is not great so I took it to a garage where they replaced the battery and alternator, the car was working well for a brief time before the same problem came back. The engine earth strap has also been replaced recently and the battery earth strap hasn't rusted.
I was wondering if it could have anything to do with other electrical faults like the headlight flasher which stopped working around the same time the problem started or the break lights which stopped working as well.
It would be great to not be limited to using the car in broad daylight.
Any suggestions and opinions about what's causing the problem are most welcome!
Thanks!
