Not visited here for along time.Still have the croma albeit in storage now.
Thinking along the lines of putting it back on the road,but still have the battery drain issue.
Can anybody think of anything that might be a common problem on it.thanks.

Not particularly for Fiat, but boot or courtesy light, glove pocket light, badly fitted aftermarket radios , alarms, etc. Also alternator diodes failure.
If you have a ammeter that you can place between the battery post and terminal it is possible to test for this, even .25 of an amp will kill a battery flat depending on usage.
Note if doing this test, don't turn the starter unless you want to buy another ammeter!!! ;)
