After reading about the light relay solution on here I decided to do mine.  I ordered the relays from a guy on Ebay, read how on here, but didn't have to go as far as suggested.  15 mins to remove left black indicator panel, plug in relays, put rubber johnny back on and re-fit panel.  Would've been more like 5 mins, but that Johnny is a b&££&r to re-fit.

Sorted!!

I hope you got the relays with a diode in them because ordinary car type relays will drain your battery overnight just when you least need it............ like when you've parked overnight in an underground car park with 1in2 ramp!

Went to start Tigger after 5 days standing, and fired up no probs,  so can vouchsafe for the relays from Ebay:

Problem is, as I found out to my cost, that it's not consistant. That is, it'll happen one night after many trouble free nights just when you need it most!!! Like the 4th day away on holiday???
Anyway, I hope you're right.
