I've read a few posts about battery/alternator based issues and was not surprised to get the 'hdc inactive' error message a couple of moths ago. A few days later I had a completely dead battery. As advised from here I bought the Bosch S5 battery, which is a sizeable lump and only just fits in the battery bay and the old one was not even half the size so no wonder it gave up the ghost. I was now left thinking thats the end of my battery issue for the next 200 years based on the size of the new battery

@ twhincup I'll go along with what you said. Been having battery drain myself so took the car for a long (about 45 mins) drive last night and turned every thing off.

I've done some measurements on this and on my car I can find no difference in potential current drain between turning the radio off before or after turning off the ignition.
