It's a little more complex than that Peter. Because of the way Morgan has adapted the BMW CAN bus electronic control systems for the Aeros, there are some circuits which stay 'live' even when the ignition is off. These will place a residual drain on the battery. (Max owners will be aware of the always-on rear glass release light for example).


I thought there must be more to it. Always on circuits are not exactly helpful. The trials and tribulations of software controlled cars....

I'll just go and polish my grease gun!
