Default 1999 xj8 massive battery drain

Hi, have a pretty big problem with a parasic battery drain, in fact huge!!, drain test shows 6.96AMPS!!!, disconnected alternator down to 4.56AMPS so still have a massive drain, had alternator bench tested and its ok, also shows ECU is still powered up when key out of ignition. HELP any ideas? Cheers Mark

Check that the little flap closes when you pull the key out. It's a fairly common problem.
