I may be reading this wrong but if the multimeter was set to mA and the draw was 8 Amps the reading would be 8,000mA or 8.0A not 8.0mA? On a decent multimeter on mA setting it should go to three decimal places not just two! With that sort of draw your battery dependent on ampere/hour rating would be flat as a pancake in no more than about 12 hours.

8mA may account for your clock and alarm and perhaps internal light if not switched off. Thumbs Up If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

8ma does sound better than 8amps! Only shows 0.00ma so 2 decimal places.
Alarm, clock, interior light would be on. Might also be radio unless I have turned it off. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Well...It appears to be fixed. One poxy 10amp fuse for the brake lights and also the alternator not charging light, hand brake/low brake fluid light.

For those interested - this fuse

Now getting 14.1 - 14.2v at the alty and 13.9v at the battery. So a lot better than before.
Cheers chaps. 1999 Defender TD5 110
