Today I lost 9% of my charge with my pre-facelift 5LR sitting on the drive doing nothing.
The full story is this. I drove 175 miles to home from Bristol starting with 100% battery in good weather and temperatures around 8 Deg C. A good steady journey, mostly motorway at a 65mph cruise and arrived with 19% charge left and 44 available miles showing (actually pretty similar to my journey to Bristol a few days before). I was at home for about an hour and then had to pop to the local shop. I was surprised and peturbed to find at start up the available charge had dropped to 10% and 16 miles showing.
Anyone any idea where this charge disappeaded to? A bit scary to think I had about 10% less in the tank than I thought.
