intermittent drain on battery, replaced twice, thought it was screens but it wasn't. Alternator fine, left for 2 weeks and stated up fine, but still can flatten overnight. Jumpstart and it's o.k.. Driving me mad, can anyone out there help?

If the battery is perfectly fine (new) then the usual suspects are the alternator, starter-motor or anything else that has a direct live connected, such as alarm or HU memory...

If you have or can get a multimeter then remove either battery lead and connect it to the battery (one lead still connected)...

... Now pull each fuse in turn and check the meter until the result changes/rises, this gives you the component associated with that fuse thats causing the drain !! ;)
