Has anyone measured the residual current drain on a Cosworth Ultima saloon with everything switched off ?

On any luxury car expect around 50mA anything more than 70mA is excessive, even on a top of range Jaguar/ Merc etc.
Don't forget to leave it for an hour so all modules have gone to sleep, you will need to extend multimeter wires and close bonnet lock car etc, leave multimeter where you can see it, i.e. on top of bonnet, and don't touch car or keys buttons when you come back to read it
