Its on top of the air suspension strut, looks like the +ve jump stud but any bolt will do. |

When you get to the bottom of this - if you ever do - please let me know. Mine has gone for two weeks parked at airports and started no problem. Today two days on the drive and although it turned over (just) it wouldn't start, the C-Tek is connected and it'll be fine in 20 minutes. It's a new battery (big Bosch as recommended by others) and the only difference from the old one is it will support whatever the drain is, run the FBH for 10 mins and start the car after being left for 1 night.

Thanks for the in depth reply. Indeed, I admit that the 0 reading on the ohmmeter is not normal.

UPDATE : I now have correctly wired the ohmmeter (from the -ve terminal to the -ve wire) and now I read the tension going down. from 5 to now around 4, waiting for all systems to go down
