I would say with that amount of current draw it is probably the alternator that is at fault, it might be showing good charge voltage, but leaking inside from a burnt out diode or short in the regulator.

Cheers Flack, both the LR Assist engineer and the LR dealership @ Pickering both checked the Alternator and both said it was working fine. When I take it in to the Indi garage, I will get them to thoroughly check as you have suggested. Thanks. Thumbs Up John

Is the current draw being measured after the car has been locked for at least 6 minutes. You have to trick the car in to thinking the bonnet is shut or it will not go to sleep properly. The current draw should gradually decrease as the car goes through its closing down process.
Modern vehicles are a lot harder to diagnose current draw issues due to modules resetting themselves when fuses are pulled.it can be a lengthy process.
It may be that the can is not powering down correctly due to a module not going to sleep. Life's too short to drive boring cars !

Keep me posted on this Johnski. I'm based at Snainton I was going to drop my 2011 Range Rover Sport HSE in to Hatfields in Pickering in the morning with exactly the same problem! I only use the car on weekends and it is always flat.
