yeah, mine is not fully charged so what I want to observe here is if goes below 12.2ish or not over the coming days 2008 TDV8 VOGUE - Buckingham Blue on Sand

.... long story...., I would do follow things: Change the battery of fathers 530 BMW in your RR and look what happens, also test your actually battery in his BMW, then you can see the quality of the both batteries. Then disconnect your telephone (if you have for example a NOKIA freespeech), and change the Resistor of the climatronic, cheap part, if it is not the problem, you can sell the resistor at ebay, you only loose so 10 -15 Euro, because it is new, and only tested onetimes. And don´t close your car, only closing the doors, no key or immobilizier. L405 SDV8 2017 + Lancia Flavia Coupe 1964 + L322 TDV8 2011 + RRS L494 3.0 SDV6 + C220CDI Convertible 2021

Thx, I see you've read it all
I can't swap batteries because he's not here at the moment (we live 200kms away one from another).
I'll first do the "do-you-autodrain-yourself-dear-battery" over the week end and advise from here.
Not closing the doors is to remove the drain possibility from the alarm system? 2008 TDV8 VOGUE - Buckingham Blue on Sand

so, battery unplugged 2,5 days ago : 12.22, nos 12.16. Normal? 2008 TDV8 VOGUE - Buckingham Blue on Sand

Perfectly normal even if your battery could do with a charge to bring it back up to full charge.
Your battery is fine.
Back to pulling fuses.
One thing crossed my mind, is it possible you have a minor leak on an air suspension?
If you had it's always possible when the car is locked the compressor is coming on intermittently as it's supposed to.
Might be worth locking the car for a couple of days with the battery connected and with the fuse for the air suspension out and seeing what happens.
Running out of ideas now.

Ok, unfortunately what I thought about the battery
So the susp idea is a good one, knowing my ground is not leveled.
However, if I had such an issue, would the car be in low position (at least on a wheel) after being parked 2 days without battery. Currently, one wheel is a bit (3cms) closer to the car body. 2008 TDV8 VOGUE - Buckingham Blue on Sand

It's always possible the car may have dropped on one wheel whilst the battery was disconnected.
You could either remove Fuse 57 or the suspension relay in the luggage area and see what happens over a couple of days.
Next weekends job?

Well, I've replugged the car this morning and here are my observeations so far:
8.30am 12,56 (used in the morning for 2 15 kms rides, fuse 64 on when used, disconnected when parked)
2.30pm 12.40 - not replugged 64
3.40pm 12.31 - not replugged 64 (re-used for a short 2 kms ride)
7.30pm 11.96 - not replugged 64

Now unplugged 57 (air susp) and will see what happens. 2008 TDV8 VOGUE - Buckingham Blue on Sand

Thats interesting.
The 0.01A current drain previously recorded could not possibly drop the battery voltage by 0.6V in 11 hours.
It does appear something was switched on, possibly intermitently, when the car was standing.
Having Fuse 64 out, but the current drain still there does suggest that the FSR is not the source of your problem.

Current drain corrected

yes, especially given the fact that it was actually 0.01.
11.77 now (was 11.96 2 hours ago).
So eating roughly 0,09V / hour... was 0,17 in the previous measure
Next suspect will be the radio & so on. 2008 TDV8 VOGUE - Buckingham Blue on Sand

10,97 this morning at 8.30
So recharge, remove audio / Bluetooth fuses ?
edit: so 0,056 v / hour drain over the night 2008 TDV8 VOGUE - Buckingham Blue on Sand

Audio and bluetooth
I hope you are keeping a record of fuses removed.

I am, thanks to this thread  2008 TDV8 VOGUE - Buckingham Blue on Sand

One discovery, one question.
Discovery: I do have a venturecam ( yeepee, I love gadgets!) I had not remarked until today, when I went messing with the fuses again. I unplugged it just to make sure it doesn't suck battery
Question: 22 & 49 fuses handle both Audio & Bluetooth?

Edit: and here's what I google upon:

Hi, I had a similar problem so I tried taken the venture cam out and never did it again???

Question: 22 & 49 fuses handle both Audio & Bluetooth?

22 for the telephone.
49 for the audio / sat nav.
