posted a coupla weeks back about my brand new battery been drained in 3 days.
its an astra mk3 gsi 1998. Iv disconnected all my stereo amps and its not them
its not a dodgy mfd as iv unplugged it
could this be a dodgy earth / the starter motor been dodgy?
the main earth is just above passenger H-light and looks fine, the other dissapears off somewhere into the engine bay..possibly to starter motor?
i really need to sort this out - but iv no idea where to start, from a good charge my battery is dead in 2 days now 
anyone help?

The earth will go to the gear box. Have you got anything other than what is connected as standard to the battery?

Daz are you saying check earth to the gearbox? iv had the g-box out put im sure it went back in fine!
alternator is fine, if you drive it every day its fine, somethings draining it when it stood!
