I had this some years ago. 

Proved to be leaky diodes in the rectifier block in the alternator.

So I took the alternator to the shop for an overhaul.

Works fine for years now.

 

Cheers,

Hello folks,

After leaving my MGB GT V8 for a few days - maybe 4 or 5  I find the batter=
y is completely flat.  Did that 3 times.  So I took the battery out, charge=
d it and waited 3 days.  The voltage dropped from 13.15V on Sunday 3pm to 1=
2.91V 3pm Wednesday which does not seem to indicate that it is the battery'=
s problem?    I did have a radio fitted but cannot say if it was after that=
 that the battery went flat.   So any tips on how to find out what is going=
 on would be appreciated (and thank you in advance) - I will try to disconn=
ect the radio but that is a pain - I have to find the special tool to slip =
it out !!!!   But surely if the radio is off (blank screen) it should be of=
f. By the way my new $$$$$ radio with windscreen mounted antenna cannot bri=
ng in 91.5FM or 99.1FM, the only stations I listen to because they do not h=
ave adverts.......but my cheap $ new portable one can get them inside my ca=
r !!!!!

Cheers
Barrie
