Evening all,

advice/help needed with one of those problems that niggle; something seems to be sucking the life out of my battery.

Its new but every time I turn off the ignition the battery drains, allbeit slowly; the horn will operate but after about 5 mins it will only 'dink' . Once started the battery charges up fine; idiot lights brighten up etc.

Could this be a bad earth?

Cheers

sounds normal to me jebb, mine is like that...they just about toot the horn when fully charged.

You could prove it is or is not a leakage by putting a multimeter in series to the battery. Switched to DC Amps

or should I say, disconnect the fuse, touch the battery side with the + probe and the other side with the - probe and see if theres a significant current reading.
