how old is the battery? have you got a custom alarm system fitted? or any always-on devices?

No idea how old the battery is. I'll get a drop test done on it tomorrow just to check.

Have Prosport gauges with a permanent live?

The alarm isn't a Subaru one. Can't remember the make.

Next time I fit the battery I'll go round checking that any interior lights are definitely going off. Is there a light in the boot? I've had that problem on my old 205 GTi. Drove me mad till I spotted it and pulled the bulb out.

Clifford Alarms and Subaru's are not a happy couple. We always fit Toad, never had to even think about it. The number of cars that play up when here that have Clifford's fitted has to be seen to believe.

Got to love when people do that. Had it many a time with me. Usual comments, "you should have bought an Evo" "you should have bought a Skyline" "they're not even fast" "anyone who drives one of those is just an idiot" etc etc. Gets boring after a while.

If I was rude in return about the choices in their lives it wouldn't go down as well I'm sure.
