I've been having battery drain problems for the last couple of months and have worked through all probable/potential causes.
The Battery has been replaced, I've had the car into a decent auto electrician for diagnostic and have found no issues other than a mystery drain on the battery.

Just wondering if the problem could be the tracker pulling the battery down...... anyone had any experience of issues with Trackers going bad?

I need to speak to the tech.... the car is in France and I'm in Hungary! I've spoken to Tracker and I've been told that it should pull around 12 mA normal 'at rest' and anywhere from 60 to 100 mA if charging... so it's a case of tracking down the Tracker and checking what it's drawing down.....
