Just read my own post back and thought good god!
I was rushing it as I was heading in to football.
Anyways, think my multimeter is up the spout as it was showing 20 volts across the battery (including the missus’s toyota) so cant confirm any readings I’ve already taken.
Well, before I go a buy another multimeter I’ll replace this battery in the alarms powersounder, already inspected the internal fuse box clean and dry and inspected the engine ecu also clean and dry (btw what a daft spot for an ecu)
But I did see the ecu loom resting on the gearbox and has worn the protective sheath away, couldn’t see if any cables damaged so insulated it for now, might revisit if it’s still draining after replacing alarm battery.

Buy a multimeter and check the cars main battery and alternator before spending time and effort elsewhere. If you doing the alarm anyway great, but I'd want to know for sure before making changes... sounds like a short jn the loom is possible :-/
