As with most of the MINI niggles, I doubt it's quite as simple as this - my MiniDisc hasn't drained the battery (yet) and this has the Radio Boost option, which makes me think it's the CD unit itself that causes problems? There seem to be 4 or 5 'fixes' for the drift problem doing the rounds, so it may be the same with the battery problems.

Saying that though, surely everyone who has a CD fitted would have been on here by now to highlight the problem?

I still can't beleive the dealers mentioned above came out with the 'drive it for longer/more often' line!!

I used to have to do that with my Classic Mini, but then I bet half the people on this site have the same tale! You don't expect to have to do that with a £13+K car!
