[W126 Coupe] Update on Battery Drain

[Vance Rowley]

Hi Iain,

  I had a look at the link you sent. Looks good. Maybe I might be able to use something like that as I say, but with a spare battery in the trunk, although I would much prefer to find what it is that is causing this intermittent current draw. I appreciate the input though.

Cheers,
Vance.
