So what is the voltage at the battery terminals with the engine off?

Do you try and give it a few starts or just the one turn of the key ?

Starter motor? Not my RR but I had those symptoms with my 911, did the whole lot myself before the garage replaced the starter motor.. |

a click could be the solenoid failing to engage on the starter, however given that it started off a jump then that is less likely, however it may have needed just that little bit more to make it engage. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

True, however mine also would start from a power booster, the extra ommph probably engaged the solenoid |

My bad! When I said clicking sound, I meant the sound you get when any car fails to turn over. It was the same sound I was getting back in Dec with with the battery drain problem.

Also as I said before, since the new battery went in its been driven almost everyday even over X-Mass so maybe the new battery is holding charge and as it wasnt driven yesterday maybe it was too long for it to hold out?

I still think you should get the starter checked, I took two batteries back before I took it into the garage |

I've got the same problem with my 2007 TDV8. It drains overnight but starts with a booster pack. After a couple miles there's enough charge to restart it, but left a few hours it'll drain again. I had a new starter motor 12 months ago and a big Bosch battery about 2 years back.

These are in your neck of the woods, L'R specialists rather than Auto Electricians, but I've only heard good things about them.

If you want to fix it yourself , all you need is time , basic tools , and a multimeter ...
