Probably a daft question but something it taking a drain off my battery - I do leave the car sometimes for a couple of weeks without driving it, but even so, the battery shouldn't discharge completely like it does.
That suggests that something is taking a charge, so will get the alarm checked for extra drian but I have a bluetooth kit fitted that was in the car when I bought it and I never use - could that drian the battery?

Put in ammeter in series with your battery to see what's being drawn

Well it will use power, obviously. But typically power consumption for BlueTooth is quite low - Especially if it is the lower range class (which most consumables are).

Whaether it could drain a car battery, well, it could, over time, but I would imagine it would be quite an extended period. I mean my Bluetooth headset can go for 200 hours being left on.

my phone with bluetooth enabled really drains the battery compared to when bluetooth is turned off, and thats even with it not connected to anything

Trackers are notorious for it
