You can try disconnecting the fusible links, in the little black box near the battery.
This will prob stop the battery dying. Then use the multimeter on the terminals to see where the current is being drawn from. One thing for sure is... Its only a simple thing thats causing the problem. Its finding it thats the pain.

I'd suggest obtaining the current being drawn from the battery while the car isn't running. Put a meter between the battery + and the terminal connector.
The reading should be pretty low, almost nothing really. Take out each fuse one by one and see if the reading changes. If it does, see what the fuse is for and there you have your fault? If you have any audio amps, maybe one of those is running all the time? I had that problem on a car once, battery lasted a few hours then dead. Just a thought.

Thanks for everyone's help, found the problem, apparently it's something to do with the starter motor, luckily I got a spare one from eBay a few months ago so I'll change it over and see what happens.

How did you narrow it down to that. That seems like an odd problem to have as a battery drain fault. Hope the new motor cures your problem
