I'm wondering if it's sticking ignition switch or alternator draining down --- I hope you get to the bottom of the issue soon mate

Worst ones, after many years of finding them, are oil tank level sensors. When the battery starts to go down instead of transmitting every 15 minutes they transmit constantly. Never measured one as the antenna is integral but I reckon they run a lot more than the 10mW they should.

I've graphite sprayed the ignition barrel and key comes in and out fine

Ah, wrong side of Norfolk then. For work I had a split patch. We went by postcodes and I had E, EC, PE and NR, so one day I'd be driving down the M11 to get into London which used to take me about an hour and a half but another day I'd be thrashing across the fens into Norfolk which at times would take me twice that!

I'm in NR postcode
the roads around Norfolk are not good for darting about at least your way you got duel carrage ways
