No, that's just normal for Discos...  :lol: (and indeed many other older British cars)

awemawson:
No it isn’t

I did extensive investigations last year and proved that the quiescent current reduced to an extremely low value so long as the system wasn’t subjected to the awakening radio waves. Once in range of the gate alarm I could monitor the body computer waking up and staying awake for about ten minutes during which time the parasitic draw remained high.

Nowt to do with it being a Disco, any vehicle on the same frequency would suffer the same issue.

Just a thought,
Have you chatted with your neighbour and tried fobs??
Also he or she may have security cameras fitted in the car. Mine keeps monitoring the inside of the closed garage. Front and rear in my case.
Asked the auto Electrician, "Don't worry very little battery drain".
Now that is true but it does fill the micro chip with many hours of zilch and sunlight peeping through the gap over the roller door.  :Doh:
