electrical consumption XJ12;key position 1

Should be able to test the alternator theory easily by disconnecting it at whichever end gives easiest access.

650mA is a bit high. Saying you have removed all fuses in an XJ6 is quite a big statement. There are quite a few inline fuses buried behind radio, in console and behind footwell panels, and those are just the ones I have tinkered with. I believe there are more than that, but my experience is limited to S3.

Ummm. if the alternator is shorted, it will draw battery juice all the time, key position not relevant???
But, the test of disconnecting it at either the alternator post or the fire wall post and then measuring draw is applicable. If it is the alternator drawing I would expect a lot more amps!!!
