Flippin car let me down Sunday. Flat battery after only about a week!! 
Took it off and charged it up and seems ok. Is there a 'likely suspect' thats possibly draining it?

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.

Now you tell me! My last blob had a clifford with a blue clifford warning light that spent more time flat than charged lmao (annoying thing was the alarm would go of everytime the battery went flat, not cool at 3am!)

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.
