what do you mean by more positively? I now use crocodile clips (jump start cables in fact).

You can have they battery tested at a garage using a device that connects the +ve and -ve terminals together through a high resistance load.

I'll have the battery tested tomorrow (I have my tyres changed) but if it's ok, this means that I have an internittent battery drain wich is worse I guess.

10mA drain means you don't have a problem, FSR or anything else.

I am soooooooooooo fed up with this issue: won't start this morning when I wanted to bring the car to have the battery (re) tested.

You just have the worst kind of car problem you can imagine, the intermittent fault. I hope that whatever is the problem fails completely soon, so you know exactly what to replace.

Indeed, very annoying... After previous tests (see above in the thread), it seemed to me I had eliminated the FSR & alternator possibilities, no? 2008 TDV8 VOGUE - Buckingham Blue on Sand |

Not if it is an intermittent fault, it could have been fine while testing and then act up again when you leave the car parked. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
