I have a 2004 ep3 type r facelift , the past while the car sits for a few days and the battery drains .
The battery has been replaced and yet still has the same issue , a few days and it's flat again.
Another issue is sometimes you go to the car to unlock it with the remote and there's no response, battery's are ok in the remote , you open the car with the key resulting in the alarm going of , disconnect
The battery and reconnect it and the remote works again locking and unlocking the car , this has only recently started happening, I've took out the fuse for the central locking thinking this may be the issue for the drain but yet again a few days later it's flat again .
Anyone any ideas on this , or had the same issue , thanks

First thing i'd do is check that the alternator is still functioning efficiently!

If it is then you need to grab yourself a multimeter and do a parasitic drain test. If you don't know what that is then consult a professional.
