Ok,car runs sweet as a nut,just a wee niggly problem.

The fuel pump relay is draining the battery if left in overnight.

Dont know why but it has a MG relay looped off as shown in pics,

any ideas why this is???

Goin to try a new relay in it,just wondering why the other relay was there

only need the XE relay, no need for the other one. Fuel pump wire from the big black relay (XE one) is red with blue stripe and should be connected to the red with blue stripe in the footwell with no relay between them

In fact, why is your fuel pump relay in the engine bay?
