Interesting that so many owners have resorted to various solutions to overcome the battery draining issue. Whilst I too carry a power pack with me all the time, it is still inexcusable that we should have resort to these measures on a vehicle of this supposed quality.

I have been through 3 Batteries,fitted a new FSA, had it at a Range Rover specialist who is almost certain its a cooling fan in the air con. If its left for more then 4 days then starting is via jump leads or power pack,both of which are always in the back.

I feel exactly the same way as you piersie. If I cannot find the source of this battery problem, the FF is definitely going before winter sets in. I certainly don't want the wife getting stranded in it late one night (she'll be using it for work).

That's interesting, does the Red led next to the P position on the gear selector light up each time the car "wakes up" when the Wifi affects it? |

Well, good news is I seem to have sorted my battery drain problem! Stan suggested checking the obd port and it was open. I closed it, charged up the battery and it has been trouble-free ever since! Cheers

I know that many people have their own theories but does anyone know the exact, definitive list of circuits that are live when the OBD PORT cover is left open? 2006 4.2 SC

Pls dont count your chickens. Just closing the port will not resolve your problems. mine has behaved all week, last night was a tad windy so all night it will have been trying to level itself every now and then,resulting in an undercharged battery this morning.

I don't think you could blame your air suspension checking itself every 6 hours over-night and correcting the level to the lowest measured level for your battery to drain over-night.
