I've got a battery drain going on.
Battery is new, checked volts last night after running and they were fine, tonight there is **** all.
Third time now and I've checked everything.
Is there any checks I can do to see what's draining the power ?
Thanks.

Assuming we're talking about a classic, check your central locking module. I had a power drain and that's what i found was causing it.
I found it purely by chance, it was dead quiet and I could hear a faint clicking sound.
The module is on the pillar in the passenger footwell, they get damp and the circuit board gets damaged. This was causing a relay to constantly open and close thus killing the battery. I took it out for a few days and didn't have a problem.
I repaired the damaged circuit board and haven't had a problem since.
