Fire onboard!
Came to the car the next day and the battery was dead. I removed the fuse because i thought that the wire may be resisting and draining the battery. I jumped the car and tested the alternator and it was fine. But why did the battery drain? Is there something that could have happened that is shorting else where? I traced the cable back as far as i could and i could not see any other damage, also no smoke from anywhere else in the car. Can someone maybe point me in the right direction to diagnose why the battery is draining after the above events? It really is very annoying. the next step is to take off the dash and check all the wiring, something i dont really wanna do!.
Cheers
Charlie.

i always cringe when i think back to when me and Karl were on our way back from wolverhampton in the cossie and it went up in smoke. not every day u see a cossie on the back on a recovery truck lol
the abs module and the ignirion wiring had shorted and smokey smokey!!
we had to take the whole dash out and disect the wiring loom and replace the wire from the n/s or the car to the ignition barrel. now that was a pain in the a**e!
glad u got it all sorted now mate! x
I saw a crinkly peanut tomorrow
