Disconnect one lead on the battery and hook a test lamp in there. If
there is a glow, with ignition switch off, then something is drawing
current.
SHould that be the case, you will need to be a bit more precise
therafter, as you go fuse-by fuse, circuit by circuit, until you locate
the problem.
One thing to check is that the light in the trunk (boot) extinguishes
when the lid is closed.
