I want to check the current that my car is using whilst at rest (brand new
battery goes flat over two days).
Will a multimeter be of use and if so what range would I need to use?

Start on 10A and work down if it reads 0,

Battery is 55ah

2 days would imply approx 1A drain,

you could try placing pulling fuses and putting the meter across the
terminals, that'll tell you which circuit is the thirsty one.
