... when the car is off :laugh:

Not quite sure why you are laughing.

If the regulator goes, then the spring loaded bushes on the regulator will pull all of the charge out of the battery in no time at all really.

Ok, i will check the fusbox, and the horn circuit. I also had a 'new' regulator fitted, but was admittedly second hand. How can i tell if this is at fault? Can i take it out and look at it?

Also, why when i put the horn fuse back in, did the current not go straight back up!?
