Ford Mondeo Battery discharging
On Friday night, while waiting for my wife in a supermarket carpark, the battery on my MK4 2.0 TDCI Mondeo went flat. The AA came out, started the car, tested the battery, found it was good and got me on my way again. Car ran fine over the weekend, trip from Durham to Middlesboro on Saturday, parked it up last night at 5:30, got in at 8:30 this morning and another flat battery. Looking on the Ford Forums this is a common problem it seems with diesel Mondeos. Has anyone had this problem and more importantly, had it resolved? I got this car second hand so it's well out of Ford's warrenty
thank you

switch every thing off
any aftermarket modifications? parking sensors, alarm, knight rider lights, cd player etc0 -
everything is turned off before turning the ignition off; one report said it might be the bluetooth so that's been off since Friday. Radio, climate control, auto lights, auto wipers are all off and still it went flat. Seems it's a common problem with this mark but Ford are less than keen on admitting it0
