It all started happening after I changed my speedo over (from mph to kph) but surely a speedo wouldn't drain the battery?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I got a battery that keeps going flat every couple of weeks. Its only started happening over the last couple of months. The battery is maybe 2 years old but it was a good one so I doubt its that. I have a pretty large stereo and halogen spot lights which don't help but its not them, becaues I've had all that years. It all started happening after I changed my speedo over (from mph to kph) but surely a speedo wouldn't drain the battery? The car is a 77 Carerra, any thoughts ??? what it may be, where to start looking, how many innocent villagers I must sacrifice to get it fixed ? Migration info. Legacy thread was 13480

Engine/front lids not closed properly, leaving the interior lights on? It happened to me... Migration info. Legacy thread was 13483
