i measured it. not even an microamp of leakage

and as a control I turned on the courtesy light and measured again.
360 milliA of current

i also discovered the pulley belt was caked in oil and needs
attention, this would explain lack of charging

Ah yes, the belt ... happened to me once ... hope that your problem is
over.

Just a couple of thoughts.

Have you rechecked the radio now that you've had the battery disconnected ?
It will have lost its code if one had been put in, and if you don't know it
....

Also, depending on how long the battery was disconnected for, the EMU may
need to 'relearn' the engine, and there is a procedure of engine starts,
stops, and driving and idling sesions to make it do this.
