Jim,
This is very useful: many thanks.
In the meantime I did some further tests. I started pulling maxi-fuses, while monitoring the resistance across the leads. When I pulled maxi-fuse number 1 (in the box adjacent to the battery) the resistance jumped to 350kOhm.
This suggests that the drain is from one of the items serviced by maxi-fuse 1. So I pulled in turn each of the secondary fuses in the fascia:
1: rear window heater
4: interior lighting/antenna
13: Diagnosis/radio
23: alarm
25: central lock, amplifier
33: rear seat heater (not installed)
34: SID etc.
As I pulled some of them, the resistance increased a little. But the odd thing is that at no time did pulling any of these fuses cause the resistance to jump to 350kOhm.
Perhaps I am worrying about nothing ... as you say it would take a long time to flatten a battery using a 2kOhm resistor.
Of course what I'd love is if someone said "I measured mine, and it's X Ohms!" :-)
Julian
