A drain of 30mA is hardly worth worrying about is it? I doubt if it

I rather get the impression that the car only gets used on sunny
Sundays.


Yes - although depending on work patterns it might get used several times
a week - or not for several.

There are several things drawing current all the time - radio, OBC,
alarm/immobiliser and central locking. So I'm trying to reduce the total
to under 50mA.

The central locking came under attention first because it wasn't working
properly anyway.
