Looking for a sticking-plaster for the eternal battery drain

[Ian]

Hopefully I'll get a replacement tomorrow in case it's the switch and not the supply to same.

Hi there, and welcome along!

Just a quick point about the LSM, if you change it, you'll get an error on the mileage display, some info HERE, there's plenty of help around to get one "virginised"

It's a good idea to get things sorted with a faulty LSM, they have been known to end up like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/10615841@N07/10157740506/

Good luck!!

EDIT: Beaten to it! :-)

Thank you for the replies. By "light switch module" I mean the headlight switch to the right-hand side of the driver. namely this:
Would that need a t4? It's the immediate and obvious source of a drain as it is constantly illuminated.

The car doesn't have the high-line sat-nav installation.

The replacement battery is a Yuasa Silver HSB096 80Ah/760amps.

Hi

Yes you will need a LSM matched to your mileage, I had the err on the dash caused by the previous owner swapping the LSM. I managed to get one matched from the 75and zt forum on a recon exchange basis.

I believe the LSM holds data including mileage and the vin number for the car, if the data doesn't match it shows the err on the trip mileage on the dash.
